Maybe our favourite annual release is our Ichorous Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels. Every year we source barrels that were filled with a different delicious bourbon, fill them with Ichorous, and release the cans in late fall/early winter. For our 6th version we got our excited hands on some Elijah Craig barrels, filled them, and aged the beer for 201 days. Honeycomb, wildflower and cedar come along for the ride with the classic bourbon and vanilla barrel notes, complimenting the rich cocoa, coffee and dark fruit notes of Ichorous.

355ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of lightly roasted grainy malt, dark chocolate, bourbon, oak, raisin and vanilla. Sweet flavour of lightly roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, oak and vanilla in a dry, bourbon warming finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and has nice complexity, but a little thin for the style.
