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.

Pours black into a tulip. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface and rim. Charred chocolate and soy aromas. Thin with dark chocolate, hot caramel and soy upfront turning to dusty, charred licorice in the medium length finish.

On tap at Tørst. Pours black. Chocolate, banana, toffee, biscuit. Medium body. Fine.

Bottled 8/24/23, drunk 10/15/23. Clear, dark. Dark beige head quickly to head. Alcohol, cocoa, baked beans...not really much bourbon or sumptuous malt. Prune and vanilla. The raw alcohol is off putting. Thin, light bodied, with more alcohol sharpness and scant bourbon - just some coconut and wood grain. Too attenuated, honestly. There's no richness, sumptuousness or comfort from the malt/texture here. Love Allagash, but haven't been super enthused with these BA Imperial Stouts. Just stick to BA Belgian dark strongs and Quads.
