Now in its 12th vintage, 2019 Eclipse is our rich Imperial Stout aged to perfection in whiskey and spirit barrels. All Eclipse starts with the same base beer bringing hints of dark chocolate, espresso, and a smooth complexity, with each barrel treatment delivering its own unique character after a minimum of 180 days of aging. Basil Hayden (code BH) is aged in select bourbon barrels. Dipped in lime green wax.

8.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8
Pours a black colour and a brown head with reasonable retention. Aroma's: sweet, bourbon, vanilla, fruity(,) alcohol, chocolate. Retronasal it's sweetish, fruity, boozy, vanilla, light woody. Flavour is above moderate sweet with light roasty bitterness and light fruit. Alcohol is warming but not sharp or hot. Above medium bodied. Finishes with increasing chocolate and eventually a short firm bitterness. Maybe not the best Eclipse ever, but still way above average.
