This Russian Imperial Stout is aged for 1 year Bourbon Barrels from Heaven Hills, Jim Beam and Buffalo Trace. The result is a remarkably smooth, graceful liquid. Invictus stands at 17.5% ABV, delivering a Cognac consistency, fine pedigree in this unique Flying Monkeys rarity. Gold Medal Winner, 2016 Ontario Brewing Awards.

From tap at Christmas craft beer festival in Thessaloniki. Black color with beige brown head. Malty aroma, light roasted, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, coconut, alcohol bourbon, light wood. Sweet and light bitter taste like aroma. Full silky oily body with soft carbonation.

Thank you Yarric. Growler sampled @ Samson en Geert Bierproef Avond. Black with zero head. Nose is oddly very vinous bourbon, syrupy, molasses, alcohol going towards varnish. Taste is hugely boozy, overly so, the alcohol leans towards varnish, spices, harsh, burning, no complexity raw molasses, herbal, syrup, bark, low roast, alcohol dominates, roast, pure black chocolate. Body is pure varnish, alcohol & molasses. This is far too crude & alcoholic for me.
