Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout
True to its Boontling moniker, “Huge Arker” is a massive force of nature that detonates on your tongue. After primary fermentation, the beer is aged in bourbon barrels until it fully matures. The deep mahogany color is evocative of the opulence to follow. Dark luscious aromas of burnished oak mingle with candy sugar, bourbon and hearth-baked bread. The luxurious flavors redolent of honey and molasses are intertwined with the richness of dark chocolate and the ardent warmth of alcohol, underpinned with hints of coffee, vanilla and dark fruits.

2020 can from Holiday Market. Pours a deep brown to black with a quickly dissipating finger of beige foam. Dark fruit aromas with plum, cacao nib and oaky vanilla aromas. Bourbon is present in the nose but more so on the palate, but by no means boozy. A touch thin on the palate but lots of complex flavors going on: plum, vanilla, caramel, cacao nib, brownie and suble spice notes that linger on the finish. Light pepper, bourbon, oak and cacao on the finish.
