Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels made w/ Vanilla, Dates, Figs, and Pistachios

Diamond in the Rough is a big barrel aged Imperial Stout coming in at 14% ABV, but there is nothing “rough” about it! After spending several months in some of our favorite bourbon barrels, this beer was hit with a solid dose of vanilla, dates, figs, and pistachios which add an intense dark fruit sweetness which complements the barrel character and takes the edge off the heat perfectly. Slight carb and medium to heavy body really ties it all together. Just one sip and you’ll agree. It’s a whole new world!
