Russian Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels

This 12 month barrel-aged version of our award-winning Expedition Stout thirsts for travel, but is perfectly content to sit in your cellar, maturing, until you are ready. The tough part? Deciding if you want to enjoy it now or wait until later. You can't go wrong either way.

Bottle from Craft Brewed shared with the CB crew. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Huge cacao nib, oak and date forward nose. Some fig and more cacao nib as it warms. Smooth oak with strong cacao nib notes. Almost some faint smoke or umami that creeps out as it warms. Tons more date, fig and prune with bourbon and more oak. Elegant, complex and deeply rewarding as a sipper.
