Imperial Oatmeal Stout double-mashed with an extensive grist, and boiled overnight. Aged in Templeton Rye Whiskey barrels and bottle conditioned for many, many months. Pronounced notes of fudge brownie, pulled espresso, and tobacco. Evolving as it warms: as always, enjoy at a cellar temperature of 50-55 degrees

500 ml bottle purchased at the brewery on release day. Aroma of deep roasted grain, oats, and subtle rye whiskey. Flavor has oats and a charred malt backbone with a soft lingering rye whiskey that lingers after the sip. The charred malt is pretty distracting. Was hoping for a lot more on this one.

Bottle pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is strong sweet roasted malt, chocolate, background bourbon. Taste is strong sweet roasted malt, rye whiskey. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, some alcohol harshness. Overall, the bourbon does not cut the sweet malt sufficiently. Too sweet.
