A refined blend of 3 year old Bourbon Barrel aged stout and 3 year old Bourbon barrel aged barley wine. The space between the stars refers to the interstellar space between star systems and their atmospheres in a galaxy, and not the intergalactic void.

Black with a minimal light brown head. A wooden barrels aroma with some sense if caramel, malt and brown sugar. Sweet with a good wooden barrels finish. Full body.

Can. A oily pour reveals a black beer under a rather minimalistic beige head. The aroma is a bit boozy at first, but after a while it mellows, or the nose has gone dormant, with a good dash of coconut, vanilla and oak. Roasted malts, brown sugar, some licorice and notes of burnt malts and soy sauce. It's full-bodied, silky and quite warming on the palate, with enough bitterness to harness the sweetness. Some tannins too. The flavor is sweet and quite boozy, in a good way, with roasted malts, coconut, coffee, chocolate covered raisins, a light burnt hint and hints of soy sauce. Quite a lot of toffee too. Quite vinous all the way, from the first drop hitting the tongue, to long after the swallow. I can't say I'm really able to find the Barley Wine in this beer, although there's a a vague hint of a more hoppy beer when it warms up, but it's sure a treat anyway. A delicious and a bit different Imp Stout. 2402416

Når dette allerede har vært lagret i 3 år er det for så vidt ingen grunn til å vente lenger: nesten helt kullsort med kort skum. The interstellar space osv gir tilfører ingenting til denne ølopplevelsen, som i seg selv er sublim og med sitt generøse vitamininnhold effektivt skaper et lite halloi i mitt indre glockenspiel, så det er å bare lene seg tilbake og nyte hver dråpe i kontemplativ ro. Kanskje det interstellare rom er et fristed for den sunne og formålsløse glede? Bloody expensive but worth every penny.
