Liquid Alchemy is our bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout infused with organic Tahitian vanilla beans. This brew is a testament to the art of barrel aging, showcasing the unique characteristics of the three barrels it matured in. Aged for 17 months in Wild Turkey rye barrels, 18 months in 1910 Old Forester Select barrels, and 30 months in Breckenridge bourbon barrels, Liquid Alchemy offers a multi-layered experience. The rich aromas of bourbon, flourless chocolate cake, and snickerdoodle cookies captivate the senses from the first whiff. Indulgent flavors of chocolate ganache, toasted marshmallow, and vanilla caviar intertwine on the palate. Liquid Alchemy is a journey through time and taste, welcoming you to savor its complexity sip by sip.

Dark brown, inky, no head. Chocolate aroma, with good bourbon, the barrel hits well. Good marshmallow, complex bourbon, bitter chocolate, this is excellent. Very full, complex, delicious.

500ml (thx, Ryan!) @ Salesforce. Appearance: almost black with a weak dark beige head. Aroma: American oak, sweet, some dark caramel and fruity notes. Taste: along the same lines, nice American oak, very smooth, some very nice liquid oak. Overall: very nice and one of the smoothest IS I've had in a while.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of fudgey cocoa, some bourbon, and some sugars -- not the most complex or integrated. Flavour is rich, with tons of treacly chocolatey fudge, plenty of bourbon, booze, and molasses. More integrated than the nose suggested, with plenty of bourbon and fudge. Good stuff.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Very dark brown with almost no beige head. Mild rye and regular bourbon barrel character, vanilla and marshmallow, fudgey chocolate, good, but not amazing.
