Imperial Rye Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Built for body, barrel, and a boldly sweet finish, this Imperial Rye Stout is loaded with Canadian rye and European barley varieties that forge a deep and dynamic malt structure. Premium bourbon barrels hand-picked by Binny’s imbue this chocolatey brew with notes of vanilla and highbrow hooch.

Sampled from the tap at El Bait Shop. Pours near black with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a woody bourbon with dark grains and a bit of toffee supporting. Flavor has dark grains and chocolate with toffee and bourbon supporting.

Can. 2022 i think. Pours opaque black, small black head, minimal head. Aroma is rich humidor, tobacco, fudge, vanilla, oak, rye. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter, hint of heat. Rich, decadent, integrated. Full body. Lovely.

Black cat in the darkest hour…..smal beige top Good intensity in the aroma Solid balanced sweetness for a beer with 16 horsepower! Mellow fine carbonation level Dangerously easy to drink Dark malt, chocolate, vanilla, oak and some bourbon in the flavor [Can from a trade with ChrisOfstad]

15 September 2022. At Revolution Brewing, Chicago. Shared with the lovely Anke!
Hazy black, small, foamy, beige head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, wet wood, green apple, candied plum, chocolate sauce, brandy, liquorice, vague medicine. Taste has very sweet date, plum & fig (in a candied way) in a milk-chocolatey, dark fudge-like malt body with a meaty-umami side. Herbal hoppy finish offering dried fruits, vanilla, boozy bourbon alcohol and a medicinal note. Full body, oily/sticky texture, average carbonation. Heavy stuff, good, even though it lacks roasted character.
