Our goal each and every year is to uphold the integrity of Greg Hall’s recipe and make the best Bourbon County Stout possible—and this year is no exception. Our rich Imperial Stout is blended from a mix of bourbon barrels from distilleries such as Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey, and Buffalo Trace, each aged in freshly emptied bourbon barrels for 8-14 months. Expect flavors of chocolate and vanilla, oak, whiskey, and molasses, followed by caramel, berry fruit, and almond.

330ml bottle @ monthly beer share, Chez Sophie April 2023. My only comments about this is 'excellent', and that's enough for me.

Bottle, 2021, 14%. Color: Black, thin beige head. Aroma: Bourbon, vanilla, roasted malt. Taste: Roasted malt, mocha, hints of chocolate. Very nicely combined with Bourbon, vanilla and boozy notes from the BA. Medium sweet, moderate to medium bitterness. Great balance, nice complexity. Creamy and warming mouthfeel. Full body, soft carbonation. Great beer.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing this rarity! Nice to try another batch of this beer! Beer in the glass deep black, almost no head. Intense woody-malty alcoholic aroma. Starts very strong, alcoholic, warming-malty. Oily. Nice vanilla notes, combined with bitter coffee. Shy sweetish background. Finish milder than exspected, but still warming-malty. Really nice one!

Surprised I never checked this in but it was busy times I think! Solid as always vanilla okay sweet bourbon booziness. Some leather and smoke, from the age mayhaps, but just hints.
