A year's rest in bourbon barrels adds a layer of complexity to an absolutely decadent base recipe. Pouring an opaque jet-black color with a mocha soaked dense foam cap, this thick and silky Imperial Stout boasts mouthwatering aromas reminiscent of bourbon-soaked brownie batter. Well integrated notes of fresh-ground dark roast coffee, coconut milk, smooth vanilla, and mixed nuts wash over the palate in waves. Incredibly thick and silky, with a gentle warming character, Barrel-Aged Adjunction Junction is the ideal slow-sipper on a crisp Fall evening.

Tap at FFB20, shared with the crew. I only took numerical notes while having this one.

Keg at CW Family & Friends, Session 1 @Manchester Central, 21/02/20. Black with a tan cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is rich roast, chocolate pot, dark malts, light spice, toffee fudge, vanilla, mellow bourbon. Taste comprises sweet malts, molasses, brown sugar melt, chocolate, vanilla fudge, pecan nut, coffee bean, caramel, bourbon kiss. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid adjunct fun ... not too sweet or messy ... balances out well.
Such a mess of adjuncts, it's hard to explain, I love it.
