Brewed with our friends at Highland Park Brewery, this stout is stuffed with chocolate and roast barley malts and was aged for a year in premium bourbon barrels. Aromas of semi-sweetened dark chocolate, fig, and vanilla meet flavors of bourbon and baking spices. Simultaneously viscous and smooth, and delivered in a limited-edition 500 mL bottle, this collaboration is not to be missed.

Capped 500 from the brewery. Pours clear, very, very dark brown with a dark tan smear. Aroma of dark fruit, bourbon, vanilla and toasted/burnt malt notes. And I think heat as well. Quite full bodied. Not dry, but missed sticky. Flavor is dark figgy (not raisin) fruit, bourbon, t/b malt, a little heat, some vanilla. Finally gets some significant chocolate as the other flavors wear away. Excellent.
