A silky smooth Imperial Stout aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels.
Black Forest Pastry notes of dark cherry and chocolate in a warming whiskey finish.

650mL bottle, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out black forest cake, gentle bourbon, and cocoa. Flavour is full of tart cherry, cocoa, boozy bourbon, and oak. A bit messy and too tart, almost like this got slightly infected and then they rebranded this. It's okay.

Dark brown, some vanilla. Fruity, light acidity makes it less rich, but there is some decent malt. I guess that's the cherry. I don'�t mind a fruitier take on impy, but the barrel aging on it feels slightly incongruous.
