(on label) This barrel-aged ale uses the staple ingredients barley, rye, and corn plus cherry wood smoked malt to create a huge imperial stout. To top it all off, we barrel-aged it for three Kentucky months! The result of this Bo & Luke variant is a rich and complex Imperial Smoked Stout with hints of chocolate and peanut butter.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2022. Pours black with a yellowish brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has chocolate, peanut, sweet dark grains and a bit of bourbon supporting. Flavor is quite sweet with chocolate, dark grains and peanut with some bitter roast and bourbon backing.

Peanut butter, chocolate malt, bourbon, and hay aroma. Black with moderate but short lasting head. Moderately sweet peanut butter, chocolate malt, and moderately bitter alcohol, ash, and hay flavor. Good body. Bourbon and peanut butter finish. Much more of a bourbon presence than past variants - peanut butter comes out stronger than the chocolate.
