Imperial Stout Aged in Cognac Barrels
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.

Thanks Justin for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing brown with a finger of quickly dissipating latte colored foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of sweet molasses and similar to a barley wine. The palate is full bodied and mildly carbonated with a mild alcoholic spice. Cognac forward with roasted malts on the mid-palate toward the end. Malts are a bit too burnt and subtracts from the entirety.

Vom Fass (Vintage 2018/11,4%) im Muted Horn Berlin 2019-03 getrunken. Dieses in Cognac Fässer gereifte Stout kommt sehr kräftig, mit kräftigen Schokoladennote daher. Im Hintergrund rundet eine Beerenfrucht das spannende Aroma ab. Die Tannine aus der Fassreifung sind hier mit einer leichten Bitterkeit bemerkbar. Ein wunderbares Stout.

Pitch black color. Off white head. Rolo chocolate, tootsie rolls in the nose. Still fairly sweet but the cognac has dropped a lot. Very rich, with cognac coming out more In the mouth, body is a bit too thin, good oak, baker’s chocolate, caramel on the palate but the mouthfeel isn’t spectacular. Cognac lingers are the end. Great depth. Too bad about the mouth feel

On tap. Pours black with moderate short dark tan head. Aromas of dark caramel and slick roasted malts. Flavors of syrupy dark chocolate, vanilla, creamy coffee, light cognac barrel and more smooth roasted malts. Smooth. Beauty.
