Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout brewed with coffee and toasted coconut. A remedy coaxed from the deepest caverns; it's char bound in the systematic sweetness and density only found in the colossal beers of our time.

Sampled from bottle at "Hooghe Noorden Tasting 2025". Opaque pitch black color, small brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, medium roasty, sweetish, boozy, slight coffee. Solid.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Big roasted coffee, cacao nib, vanilla bean and caramel aromas. Bourbon comes out as it warms with lots of creamy oak notes. Smooth and rich on the palate. Decadent stuff with the bourbon and chocolate working well. Lingering toasted coconut and cacao nib on the finish, slightly warming with good barrel character throughout.
