Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
Taking awesome and doubling it can only be double awesome. It’s math.
This is essentially the 35K recipe doubled. Double roasty, double chocolatey, double creamy, double delicious. Then we decided to make it 2.5X awesome by aging it in Angel’s Envy barrels for a really, really long time. The bourbon and oak flavors perfectly compliment the massive flavors in the double mega imperial milk stout. You don’t swim in this beer, it swims in you!

A deep dark stout with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet chocolate malt with light dark fruits and soy sauce, alcohol warmth, bourbon barrel notes, woody notes, very nice and rich. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate, vanilla, bourbon barrel, licorice, alcohol warmth, very nice and complex. On tap at Stadium location.

Svart. Mokkafarget skum langs glasset. Aroma av nøtter & lakris. Smaken nøtter. Sjokolade etter hvert. Søt lakris i avslutningen. Alkoholen veldig godt kamuflert.

Pours like treacle with a thick bubbly light brown head that left a good cover on a very dark brown body. Huge aroma of liquorice, brown sugar, sweet dark spirits, treacle & honey. Full bodied, thick & viscous on the palate with a tingly sticky finish. Taste is so similar to the aroma with demerara, liquorice, treacle & honey followed by very slight tinge of sweet citrus & peach

Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a small foamy beige head that left no lacing. The aroma was sweet chocolate, caramel, rum and cola. The flavor was boozy with chocolate, caramel, rum and dark fruits. Very long booze and chocolate finish. Full bodied.

Near black. Thin head. Lots of rich molasses, brown sugar, sweet and rich. Rich dark sugar. Smooth. Nuanced alcohol and slightly toasty notes. Really quite good. Love the richness.
