Triple barrel-aged imperial stout
Complex, decadent, and massive, Black Tuesday is the perfect base for experimentation— which is why this triple barrel-aged iteration is fittingly dubbed “Grand Reserve.”

Bottle, 375 ml. Shared with Luka and MiroB. Dark dark brown with beige head. Chocolate and bourbon. Some barrel. Quite warming with some alcohol coming through. Medium bodied. Tasty, but heat is there.

Pours clear, very dark brown. No head. No sign of carbonation. Scent is boozy, but not as much as feared. Lots of chocolate, vanilla, milder but present wood. Taste is full, intense roast, overly high ABV - sharp and boozy, very woody. Vanilla, oak, over-the-top booze. Unpleasant, even. Not bad in general, but this would score way higher for me if the ABV had some sanity to it, or the beer more balance to support the booze.

375 ml shared by Heather_B. From her RS. Aroma bourbon, raisins, Brandy, oak. This definitely could’ve sat another 2 years. Base reminds me more of BA barley wine. Lots of bourbon, brandy finish with a lot of dark fruit. Booze certainly is not hidden. Hints of red wine. Strong, not harsh.

375ml bottle because GenDV138 is a jerk. Pours a very oily translucent brown. No head. Boozy nose, Kahlua, coffee or chocolate vodka, maybe both! This is just kinda gross, caramel, some Charleston chew, but all booze, vodka and Kahlua mostly. Hot finish. No thanks. Who drinks this willingly?

Way too much going on here. Literally made me yak after a day full of tasting. Black pour with good head and lacing. Syrupy pour. Very sweet. Caramel, lots of chocolate, lots of bourbon booze. Bottle thanks to who else - Gendv138.

Bottle thanks to William. Pours a cloudy brown with medium beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong bourbon, oak, vanilla, roast. Slick body, vanilla, roast, oak, boozy finish, intense, very nice.
