bottle. 2026 - not the limited edition. 13.5% sampled june 19 2026
pours dark brown to black, settles black with nearly no head
Bourbon aroma, also roasted malts, some kind of citrussy fruity notes.
Flavor is fruity, licorice, bourbon, honey or maple syrup, alc. burny ending with some malty bitterness to carry a mixed fruity/roasted malty flavor into the far end.
the beer is somewhat more fruity than normal bourbon stouts, borrowing some flavor notes from belgian quad's but not the crazy yeast funkiness.
i would've preferred less fruits more roasted malts. The flavor here is more like the flavor i'd expect from red wedding, or maybe barrelling on white port wine barrels or dessert wine or the like.
pretty good and very complex sipper.
texture is a little bit thin for such a heavy imp stout, but okay and does not feel or taste watery.
while the dried dark fruity notes are a bit in the way, they do let you explore the beer as a very complex beer with more enthusiasm. makes you think how those 12 months in the barrel went, and what went on in there.
quite well blended, not much coffee though. It can be tasted that the beer has had a lot of time to settle.

Bottle. Color: Black, thin brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, Bourbon, some chocolate and hints of coffee. Taste: Well balanced mix of roasted malt, coffee, Bourbon (incliding vanilla), dark chocolate. Boozy, bit warming mouthfeel. Smooth, lactose. Dry bittery backbone. Full body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet and over moderate to medium bitterness. I'm not a fan of lactose, but besides that it's a very nice Imperial Stout.
