Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
We took our big full bodied imperial stout and threw it in some bourbon barrels to age for 18 months. After this extended period of aging, we found a powerful nose of dark fruit notes with a balanced sweetness and notes of molasses while picking up distinguished bourbon and oak from the barrels that continue into slightly roasted flavors of bitter chocolate and a finish that lingers.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that dissipates. Prune and cacao nib on the nose with warming bourbon and light oak aromas. More of the same on the palate with some roasted coffee and molasses that comes out. More bourbon. A bit thin on the palate, but overall pretty solid...especially for the price point.
