Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels

Black Tuesday was crafted to stand the test of time— to evolve, develop, and mature. One could even say that Tuesdays are Timeless. Aged in choice bourbon barrels for over a year, developing complexity and flavors like nothing you’ve tasted before. Roaring notes of crème brûlée, and poached fig are interlaced with hints of malted milk balls and Australian licorice— dancing into a decadent, sophisticated fusion that’s fit to claim its own day of the week.

Bottled 750ml. -at Goblet Zagreb, shared with Marko. 74 euros for the bottle. Pitch black coloured, minimal brownish head that went away fast, chocolate, barrel and light alcohol in the nose. Roasted malt, chocolate, barrel, some alcohol and licorice with bitter chocolate finish. Quite nice.

0.75l bottle, with Ogi, Veco, Brada and Ivan P. Oily black-brown body, no head. Chocolate, cocoa, cookie aroma, soft, boozy, bit dusty barrel. Lean, dry taste, raisins, heaps of licorice, extremely well hidden alcohol, some roasty notes, light tartness, bitter finish. Not an enormous fan, but respect this.

Aged beautifully, lovely soft bourbon, roast, no edge or harshness. Hides the 19% well with smooth chocolate and dried red fruits

Pours a black colour and a brownish head that doesn't last long. Aroma's: boozy, sweetish, with chocolate retronasal. Flavour is moderate sweet, alcohol, chocolate. Burning alcohol feel. Medium bodied. Long finish, boozy and roasty. Not nearly as spectacular as the 2012 bottle I had last year.
