A massive Imperial Stout that's been aged on bourbon barrels for 6 months. It is smooth, sweet and well balanced, with clear notes of vanilla and caramel from the oak, and supporting flavors of coconut, chocolate and dried fruit from the spirit itself. It is long and complex and lovingly aged.

pours dark brown, with a light brown head. aroma is bourbon, sweet roasted malts, booze, syrup. not the best imp stout aroma but of course much better, more solid, than industrial versions. seems a bit simple and the syruppy note is too prominent. Flavor is bourbon, roasted malts, sweetness resembling honey or syrup or perhaps brown sugar or all of them, alc% hits and gets it a bit off-balance, bordering a faint nailpolish like note. Not the best imp stout flavor, not bad, but not among the best. I opened a 75cl bottle, it's 11:16 on a wednesday - this bottle will last all day and into tomorrow I think. bbf 24 dec 2026
