Dark Hollow blends the miracle of two crafts--brewing and distillation--to create a work greater than the sum of its parts. An Imperial Stout has been aged in charred American oak bourbon barrels still dripping with uncut whiskey. For 100 days the young beer patiently breathes in and out of the wood, gaining complexity, character, and serious attitude. This ale is always bottle conditioned and can be enjoyed immediately upon its release from the brewery...or five years later, when you dust off the last vintage bottle from your cellar to share with good company.…

Tap at stags head. Pours jet black at least in this lighting. Nose of cocoa and coffee. Tastes of rich chocolate, some vanilla, coffee, malt, licorice, and ome leather. Bourbon is subdued and not too sweet despite being so chocolaty.

Odense Beer & Ball Saturday - Parma vs. Bologna. Black with a lasting tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate with weaker notes of bourbon and coffee beans, very nice. Sweet and dark malty flavour with chocolate, dried fruit, ash, soy sauce, alcohol and hops. Lacking harmony with both vineous character, sweetness and notable bitterness

0.75l corked bottle from my secret Santa 2012. Its really deep and dark brown in the glass this one, and it has a nice medium sized dark brown head. On the nose I get lots of wood and cellar tones. Dark coffee, some vanilla and chocolate. Smells absolutely decent, but I also feel that something is lacking. It's really soft on the carbonation and the mouthfeel is good oily. First thing I can say about this is that it's scary light drinkable. No traces of any alcohol what so ever, it's mild and really round. A nice coffee roastiness with chocolate, cellar, a faint acidity that breaks the dark up a bit and a almost vanilla sweetness. Also some dry licorice. Make that lots of dry almost salty licorice that gets more and more present to note longer down the bottle you get. Perhaps not what I would describe as a flavor bomb per say, but it's a really really good beer. Something I could drink lots of if I had it available. Have to admit that I had never heard of this before. Thanks Santa! 06 04.2013
