Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout
A living room filled by the warmth of a fire, a table packed with food, the cushions of a comfy couch—there are so many great spots to gather. And we have a rich, bourbon barrel-aged stout to pair with all of them. Gatherwell is a full-bodied and, dare we say, decadent stout aged in bourbon barrels for notes of cocoa, vanilla, oak, and a hint of bourbon.

Black with a small tan head that faded. Doughy with sharp whiskey and a hint of anise. Lacking depth. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Very nice, honest barrel aged stout. Roast and light bourbon, but very well balanced. Some coffee. Slick mouth feel. Bittersweet finish with light booze. Light caramel. Bottle.

Allagash, imperial stouts, bourbon barrel aging, I like all three in a beer. I obtained a 12 oz bottle from Half Time some months ago, time to have a taste. A nice pour inside of my New Belgium globe glass, my go-to. Really dark brown, one shade away from black, with a spare swirl and ring of creamy tan foam. I smell chocolate, vanilla, a bit of coffee and scorched grain. A drink now, chocolate again, some char, red berries, toast, malt and a hint of honey. Thinner than I expected for an 11% abv beer. And I get no indication from the barrels unfortunately. Decent but far from expectations.

Bottle picked up from Beer Republic webshop Breda Netherlands had this sat on the balcony at home Monday 20th May 2024, sat outside in the garden, we had Omani Mishkak Lamb Kebabs later with Feta and Chorizo Kebabs, Spiced Potatoes and a Freekah & Tomato accompaniment. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is bourbon but with addition of a little spice and chocolate. These aroma profiles come through in the mouth along with some liquorice and roastiness. Not amazing but it's decent.

--Bottled, from Systembolaget. -- Aroma of coffee, toffee and mild bourbon. Mid sweet with full bofy and rounded, somewaht spritzy mouthfeel. Belgo stout style marzipan and pricklyness. Tobacco and licorice on coffee and caramel. Finishes off with mild oak, long bitterness and evident peppery heat.
