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.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma beige media. Al naso note di bourbon, vaniglia, cioccolato fondente, legno, etilico. In bocca è molto impegnativa, attacco dolce con finale amaro lungo, legno, liquirizia. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Molto complessa.

Draught at BeerGeek Bar. Black, opaque. AROMA- bourbon, alcohol, roasted malts, dark fruit. FLAVOR- quite sweet, very warming, bourbon, sugar candies, chocolate. Fuller bodied.
Good, but somewhat unbalanced, too sweet, too alcoholic, not so rich flavor.

Flaska från Boxbeers. Tjock svart med tätt, krämigt mörkbrunt skum. Doftar och smakar av bourbon, läder, likörpralin, marsipan, massor av kokos, vanilj, mörk choklad och fat. Större kropp, men inte massiv. Bra med hetta från alkoholen och fatlagringen. Bränner kanske lite väl och håller inte helt upp balansen, lite typiskt de Bruery-flaskor jag testat tidigare. Möjligtvis att den skulle bli bättre av att stå ett tag.

Flaska från Beergium drucken med ölföreningen. En stor IS åt det sötare hållet. Massor av fudge, rostade nötter, kaffe, choklad, lakrits, häxvrål, lite kokos. Aningen vinös och mycket värmande. Maffigt och mycket gott.

Taster, many thanks to Sander!
Pitch black body, with a tiny, dark beige head.
Aroma of thick dark chocolate, bourbon barrel, soy sauce, coffee, cocoa, some vanilla, some molasses.
Tastes similar, with even more creamy dark chocolate, some booze.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes warm, a bit astringent, medium dry, moderate sweet, moderate roasty, with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, bourbon barrel, some soy sauce, slight tobacco.

Tasty. Thick and robust, with well integrated bourbon barrel and most of all lovely chocolate notes throughout. Great balance between sweet and roasty, quite boozy, while not too heavy for the ABV. Lovely, comfortable sipper.

Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16
