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.

What a monster. Lots of dark chocolate, berry, cascara, molasses, oak, and oh so much bourbon. Acidity seems a bit high, but this pint is ridiculously drinkable for a 15% beer. Not my favorite, but I’m enjoying it.

Can. Very dark brown with a vanishing light tan head. Aroma of mocha, Bourbon, some dried fruit. Lots of Bourbon in the taste. Not all that sweet with little overt booze but a surprising lack of bottom end grunt. Finish has some nicely peppery oak. Pleasant enough but too much about Bourbon and not enough about stout for me. After a while its strength is dulling.
