The brewers aged a dry, roasty Russian Imperial Stour base in selected Angel’s Envy Bourbon barrels. And this complex behemoth that clocks in at a most excellent 12% ABV.
Tasting Notes
This BBA RIS brims with notes of baker’s chocolate and espresso up front, followed by smooth caramel nuances and a whisper of toasted hazelnut. A dash of bourbon lingers in the warming finish.

Capped 500 from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight transient dark tan head. Aroma suggests this A'sE barreling was not bourbon. Nor rye. Dark malt/dark fruit. Full bodied. Not dry, but nowhere near sticky. Heat stands in for bitterness, perhaps with some burnt malt. Flavor is "whiskey", dark malt, dark fruit and a touch of chocolate. Toss in heat as well. Some smoke appears. Nice stuff.
