Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels

Namesake aside, this bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout is worthy of pouring every day of the week. Both elegant and complex, it exemplifies over 10 years of experience in barrel-aging technique. Notes of dark chocolate and vanilla are rounded out with hints of freshly picked cherries, dried figs, and molasses.

Brilliant white frothy head stayed well on a hazy vivid golden body. Big vinous & fruity aroma with bubble gum, peach & cloves. Medium bodied, sharp & carbonated on the palate with a softer dry clean finish. Yeast, banana, peach, clove, bitter citrus, lemon, sweeter citrus - orange & apricot tastes & a hoppy finish - quite complex! Tastes like an excellent dry Belgian Tripel to me.
