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.

Opaque stout, medium light tan head. Aroma is full of boozy warmth, with caramel,.malt and dried fruit. Flavour has the sweet bourbon too, but it's enhancing things not overpowering them. Caramel, fruit fruit, sweet malt. It's big and boozy and warming, with the barrel really coming through in the finish. Lovely stuff.

The roasted coffee flavor dominates in the end. Get some cocoa powder and vanilla early on.

Wonderful BBA stout, straightforward and well-made, with a moderate sweetness underlined by notes of cocoa, raisin, caramel, and mocha, followed by vanilla and oak on the back end. Bitter finish is loaded with bourbon and a touch of cascara. Delicious.

12 ounce bottle. Opaque dark brown color. Thick, creamy dark tan head. Aromas of dark, roasted malt, treacle, oak and chocolate. Flavor is complex and rich. Bittersweet chocolate, dark cherries, molasses, vanilla, oak and a hint of bourbon. There is an underlying funkiness that is likely attributed to the abbey ale yeast. Some resiny hops on the backend, as well. Fairly smooth throughout. Very approachable for the style and 11% ABV.

Bottle from the Packie. Inky brown bordering on black with a thin tan head that slowly recedes. Dark chocolate with hints of coffee brown sugar and toffee. Light vanilla and hints of oak. Nice beer that's not sickly sweet.
