1/1/2021. Can courtesy of minutemat, cheers Mat. Pours thick, almost black, with a short lasting tan coloured head. Aroma of liquorice, dark chocolate, bourbon, roasted malt, light wood, toffee, coffee, black treacle. Rich, full bodied, slick texture. Average carbonation. Nice roasty bitterness. Develops very nicely in the glass as it warms. Nice long evening sipper.

440ml can sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Pitch black pour with deep tan head. Nice big aroma of chocolate, bourbon, liquorice, leather. Taste continues, quite a rich blend with nicely integrated bourbon, good layered dark malts, strong black coffee.. smooth and nicely balanced. Pretty good.

Can at home. Opaque black color, full sized dark brown colored head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, bourbon. Flavor is malts, daek malts, heavy bourbon, dark malt bitterness with a sweet bourbon touch. Syrupy texture, decent body, average carbonation. Alright.

Bourbon barrel aged imperial stout by this brewery in Connecticut I haven't encountered before. Expensive can from the Mitra shop in Lelystad, Netherlands, shared with Goedele, Craftmember and Hinke. Mocha-beige, mousy, dense head quickly reduced to a steady ring, jet black robe. Intense bouquet of 'Haagse hopjes', chocolate sauce, sweet bourbon indeed, liquorish but subtly so, cinnamon rolls, sugared gravy, toffee, coffee liqueur, vanilla-scenting oak wood, molasses, raisins, caramel candy. Quite intense onset, sweet candied cherries and raisins with a light umami-flavoured gravy sauce poured on top, in a softly tingling environment; very full, oily, near-syrupy body. Thick toffeeish, molasses-like and chocolatey malt body with only mild roasted coffee bitterness in the end, lingering caramel and liquorice aspects heated by bourbon, which accentuates the overall sweet side of the beer rather than destroy it with astringent booziness; some black-peppery hop bitterness does provide balance, as does a subtle but noticeable, faintly vanilla-ish oakiness that behaves remarkably elegantly. Worth every penny, this is your typical postmodernly sweet imperial stout in full U.S. grandeur. Very well done, better than expected really - this deserves to be hyped, I'd almost say...

Fantastic aroma of dark chocolate and Bourbon, smooth and creamy mouthfeel of silky toasted malts, lovely espresso, mocca, cacoa, very nice!

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Airy palate, a slight viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft rich dark chocolate malts, a good dose of rich chocolate cake, trace of chocolate fudge. Modes dark fruits and then a rich and somewhat tangy dark chocolate cake finish. The BBA here is unusually light but provides a spicy fruity bourbon finish but strangely, never dominant. Rich and flavoursome but never quite fully ascendent.

Berry white tasting. Can thanks to jaapie. Near black with not so much head. Sweet deep roasted chocolate malts, creamy hazelnuts, toasty barrel, quite nice chocolate roasty coffee. Big sweet and bitter. Full body and soft carbonation.
