A Luxurious Stout with Fine Bourbon Character
Aged for six months in bourbon barrels, this luxurious stout has a deep ebony hue and a beautiful mahogany head. The woody, vanilla-like notes imparted by the barrels mingle with aromas of fresh baked bread, toffee, and espresso and envelop the rich chocolate and roasted barley flavors with a fine bourbon character. With an exceptional balance and drinkability this beer is the closest thing to an every-day bourbon barrel aged stout the world has ever seen.

12 oz. Aroma has notes of cooked veggies, whiskey, garbage, caramel, wood, funk, berries. The nasty off-notes pretty much disappear after a couple minutes, leaving a decent smelling beer. Pours very dark brown with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sweet with barrel aged flavors. Kind of weird at first, but it grew on me.

Almost black with thick head. Chocolate and malt aroma. Malty taste with caramel and chocolate. Well balanced finish.

Okish staut. Mingi räpane maitse häirib + üllatavalt alkone selle ABV kohta.
