Are you ready to put two together? The Love Below is a very special version of our Nikolai Vorlauf Imperial Russian Stout that’s been aged in luscious Cabernet barrels and bold Bourbon barrels for months, then blended together along with real cherries and 100% chocolate. Thick and sultry, this is a beer best consumed with a very special friend.

Lots of barrel and cherry, mixed with a brautifully smooth, chocolatey base. Really smooth mouthfeel, great combination of fruit, barrels and beer.

Tasting at Brian's
Black colour. Sweet, chocolate character, dessert like, chocolate bar, peanut butter, nuts, hints of red wine, some booze but fairly well hidden.
Good but a bit excessive.

Bottle. Black colour, Thin head. Has coffee, vanilla, bourbon, nice vinous notes, some cherry accents. Thick, sweet, nice vanilla, light cherry. Chocolatey. There's a nice tannic note from the barrel. Rich, and complex. There's a lot going on here. Nice. There's so many elements and they are in balance. Balanced cherry in the finish with an element of vanilla and chocolate.
