Your wakefulness outlasted the fire and now the deep, cold night has come. After a blind stumble and no shelter found, you drop to your knees howling a desperate invocation. Begging, bartering, and bellowing to anyone or anything that can hear, or listen. As the frost creeps towards your lungs, you see a shimmer. Has something answered your call? Wiping away the sleet, your eyes narrow. It looks like…
This bourbon barrel aged imperial stout was blended from 16 handpicked barrels and conditioned on vanilla beans and toasted coconut. Look for oak, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and of course that sweet, sweet bourbon.

Can, 14.6%. Black indeed with a brown head that retreats to the rim pretty quickly. Aroma of Bourbon, Bounty, vanilla. Lots of flavouring, not much stout. But there it is upon a taste: heavy, almost burnt roast setting up a good contrast with the very sweet flavours above. After a while there's a little more chocolate, then the finish is boozy and a little bitter. The finish and the roast pull it into shape and as it gets to about 14C the balance works well.
