A deeply warming and decadent stout with complex flavours of liquor soaked berries, chocolate, caramelized sugar, coffee, dried fruit, and toasted oak. Aged in Sauv Blanc, Malbec, and Bourbon barrels, we blended a batch of 1 year old with a slightly younger 9 month old batch for a rich flavour medley we are very happy to be sharing with you.

Poured from the tap. Dark brown with small light beige head. Bourbon, a touch vinous and a touch roasty. Okay.

Dark brown, thin head. The bourbon blasts across the nasal passages, some chocolate lingers. Definitely sweet chocolate and aggressive berbn, but it is a bit of a 2 step. So good beer but not much complexity, and this is a style where you can go big on complexity…for simple but awesome Rasputin is your benchmark…this is good but it is no Raspy.

Deep blackish brown body and modest foam. Soft tart motor oil on the nose, slightly sweet. Taste is good licorice, slight motor oil, dry coffee finish. Alcohol well hidden, not a bad impy and delivering well enough.

On tap at The Bakery, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is not very prominent on the barrels — there's medium roasted malt and a touch of bourbon. Flavour is fairly laid back for the style, with roasted malt, a hint of bourbon, not really any vinous character, and some earthiness. I wish the bourbon was further upfront; it's smooth and drinkable enough but not particularly interesting.
