Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Occupying the epicenter of patience, refinement, and extremity, Double Barrel Very Special Old Deth is a foreboding incantation of swirling malt, spirit, and oak concentrated over several years in our most prized bourbon barrels. Cocoa, vanilla, and stone fruit emanate from the glass, with each decadent sip punctuated by American oak and warming alcohol.

Having a debate about booziness. At the ABV here, this is utterly insane. Pure chocolate chip cookie, molasses, barrel.

Can shared. Opaque pitch black color, no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roast, sweetness, vanilla, very boozy, burning alcohol in the finish. Decent but too heavy for me. 8-7,5-7-6-6,5

Can shared at Benny's place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with a thin broken off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, mineral. The flavour is strong sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, boozy, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. Nice, but for me, a simple beer defined by the alcohol.

Black colour. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, then comes the vanilla, the chocolate. Full bodied, sweet, but the alcohol is immediately present; good dark chocolate flavour, loads of vanilla, toasted marshmallow, spirit, and a touch of coffee in the finish. Excellent.

12oz (thx, Matt V.!) shared with Alex in Golden Ears on Alouette campground. Appearance: very dark brown with a quickly dissipating beige head. Aroma: American oak, some sweetness. Taste: quite sweet, very boozy, some bourbon, American oak, some vanilla. Overall: this is definitely overhyped. I don't understand why people are so crazy about Revolution beers as there are many nicer beers around in both the US and Canada than these ones.
