A fantastic intersection of oak, spirit character, and decadent stout — and a special release for our 10th Anniversary!
Returning for the first time since 2020, and the seventh time ever, BOYD is our Imperial Stout aged extensively in cognac barrels. It's feisty and warming, with low bitterness, appropriately mild carbonation, notes of anise, brown sugar, figs, and subtle maraschino cherry.

A deep dark stout with a very thin brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, alcohol warmth, light nutella, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, nutella, licorice, woody notes, alcohol warmth, very nice and rich. On tap at L'autre oeil.

Dark brown. No head. Pours fairly rich, the aroma has cognac. There's a nice little umami character, blackstrap, oh that's nice cognac character. Good body. That cognac fruitiness, that's really nice. Dark sugars...it's mostly just those two elements. But they are really good.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Black with minimal tan head. Burnt molasses, soft cognac in the background, hint of roast malt. Comes together nicely. I see, now, why I enjoy the double barrel versions as much as I do (first time trying the base).

Cognac and bitter coffee on nose with dark berries. Dark tan head. Well blended subtle cognac with expresso coffee the dominant taste element. Smooth and slightly oily.

500ml bottle.
Possibly the thickest beer ive ever poured. Jet, black hole, black. Medium brown head. As the beer sits the head turns chocolate brown, wow.
Deep aroma of soy, charred malts, bitter cocoa, molasses, and touches of wood and alcohol. The mouth feel is very viscous, with a super soft carbonation. The finish is quite sweet, with a light to medium bitter end. More charred malts nd soy come through. The barrel is hard to find. I think its emparting a woody sweetness, but its slight at best. Still an impressive impy.

Bottle at BXL. Black. Massive raisins, vanilla, licorice, chocolate, molasses. Very sugary with a ton of barrel characteristics in a nice and aromatic way. Noice.
