This special batch of our Prince Myshkin’s Russian Imperial Stout was aged for 11 months in oak barrels that once held Pinot Noir wine. In addition to the big chocolatey espresso like flavors typically found in our stout, the time in barrels added nuanced notes of vanilla, mocha and coconut. A slight herbal hoppiness and hint of alcohol burn round out the profile of this perfect winter tipple.

Tap at Dock Street. Not sure why anyone would ever choose to age an imperial stout in a pinot noir barrel, cuts through a lot of the chocolate, leaving an unpleasant booze laden vinous tone. Heavy and cumbersome. Awkward booze tones, limited finesse. Not that good.

Bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a black color with almost no head. A sweet oaky nose with some fruit and roast. The flavor is very good; cocoa, dry, a smooth thin palate, quite fruity perhaps from the pinot noir, no tartness, very drinkable some prunes and berries. Quite good. This is a case where a thin palate works.
