Hellshire XI is a blend of three imperial stout recipes, aged between 15 and 18 months in Kentucky bourbon barrels from a few of our favorite distillers. Pouring jet black, the beer presents with a nose of baker’s chocolate, dark fruit, and bright bourbon. Each sip brings waves of chocolate, coconut, vanilla, and oak.

22oz @ Matt's new place. Appearance: very dark brown with no head. Aroma: dark fruits, American oak, some little fruity acidity, moderate sweetness. Taste: very sweet, a little bit boozy, quite sweet, loads of Ameican oak, vanilla, and chocolate. Overall: tastes more like a blend of imperial stouts and barleywine, more smooth than a regular BBA IS. Reminded me somehow BCBS BW. Very nice.

Pours sort of inky, not much head. The aroma is a bit nutty, light chocolate, slight fruit, and it's big. Nice subtle complexity on a big body. Light carbonation, enough to pull the flavours through nicely. The bourbon nose is nicely layered over top. Sticky dark sugars, with plum, prune, liquorice and burnt fruits. Good alcohol, and very nice complexity. Bourbon again lends layers to this, and cuts some of the sugars. Very good stuff.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a tiny head. Aroma is very rich and integrated, with lots of bourbon barrels, gentle roast, a hint of coffee and cocoa. Flavour is rich, intense and integrated, with big bourbon barrels, dark sugars, molasses, and moderate roast. Big bourbon and dark sugars in wonderful harmony. Excellent.

Sampled from the tap at Broken Top Bottle Shop. Pours black with an oaky chocolate brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of bourbon with slightly sweet dark grains and a touch of roast supporting. Flavor has bourbon and vanilla with growing dark grains and some roast in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a pitch black hue with a medium creamy brown head. A big nose, roast, barrel, heat. Licorice, roast, molasses. Dark fruit and leather, big bourbon. Hot, beastly really. Good.
