Can from Tavour: pours black with beige head. Aroma is dark fruit, some vanilla, earthy, not much chocolate. Significantly better than other Bombastic stouts, but still on the lower end of the style. Muddled a bit.

Can from Smokes n Suds, November 2021. Pours pitch black with a big brown head that quickly fades to thin ring. Rich, powerful aroma of bourbon, chocolate, and roasted malts. Sweet flavor profile with what I’d consider to be the perfect amount of barrel influence. It’s prominent and center-stage, but not hot or overwhelming. Nice compliment of dark chocolate, roast, and espresso. Just a glimpse of heat on the back end. Grabbed another can Feb 2022 to revisit and confirmed - One of the best Imperial Stouts I’ve had in a long time.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of bourbon, toffee, chocolate, vanilla, wood, anise, cigar ash. Pours black with a half finger tan head with decent retention. Taste is highly sweet and a bit savory with a lightly bitter edge. Very nice.
