10 Month Bourbon Barrel-Aged Bearded Lady, our uncompromisingly big and beautiful Imperial Stout. Born from our Dark Arts recipe, she uses masses of magical malts to deliver deep chocolate, rich coffee and vinous berry flavours, all complemented by a balanced yet subtly spicy hop profile. Powerful, robust, intriguing: yet decadently smooth and sumptuous, the lady demands respect. The barrel-ageing softens the beer, adding rich bourbon, sweet vanilla and a hint of oak. Already barrel-aged for 10 months this beer will continue to develop in the bottle for many years. Annual Release 2013.

Can shared at home with the boys. Nem készítettem jegyzeteket, csak pontoztam a sört.

Svart. Lavt lysebrunt skum. Aroma av bourbon & lakris. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken salt lakris, røstet malt & mørk sjokolade. Tørr avslutning. Kakao. Av de bedre.

On tap at HaandBryggeriet Beer Festival, Drammen. Pitch black colour, low tan head. Roasty aroma and flavour, coffee and some malty sweetness, notes of oak / bourbon barrel (more in the flavour than in the aroma). Good beer.

660ml wax-sealed bottle (2013) aged since purchase. Aged wonderfully, no oxidisation. Pours a slick oily black, nice medium sized tanned head. Soft bourbon nose, some chocolate, distant caramel. Continues to taste, body perhaps not as full and rich as expected, but bears a lovely rich drinkability.

Pours black with a thin light brown head. Aromas of roasted coffee, some licorice, bourbon, hazelnuts, dates and some cocoa. Taste is pretty bourbon up front, licorice, coffee roast, malty sweetness. Dry bittersweet and hazelnutty finish.
