Transcendance un assemblage d’Imperial Stout affinés 20 mois en fût de bourbon Buffalo Trace 10 ans et de Willett Family Estate. Vous y trouverez des nuances et arômes de vanille, de bourbon, de chocolat avec une bonne présence du bois. La texture de ce stout est particulièrement riche et épaisse. Nous avons cherché à créer une bière empreinte d'équilibre et de délicatesse. Bref, c’est une bière à la fois délicate, intense et gourmande.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some bourbon notes and light vanilla with some woody notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some vanilla notes with some bourbon and a dry finish. Body is full with an oily texture and good carbonation with some discernible alcohol notes. Nice mix of bourbon notes with a great chocolate stout.

Dark brown, looks inky, no head. There's a really rich barrel aroma on this, along with brown sugar, toffee. There's a decent fruitiness on the palate, with sticky sugars. The barrel plays a prominent role in this beer, lending a stylish bourbon accent. Everything comes together well here. Excellent.

750ml (thx, Jonathan M.!) @ Salesforce. Appearance: very dark brown with some dark brown head. Aroma: a lot of American oak, vanilla, some chocolate and brown sugars. Taste: along the same lines, thick, moderately sweet, with a booze kick, some molasses and brown sugar notes. Has some of those meaty notes. Overall: good.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Very dark brown with almost no tan head. Nice woody bourbon, gentle sweet molasses underlay, quite nice.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a tiny brown head. Aroma is wonderfully rich and elegant, with a huge woody oak character, lots of bourbon, some vanilla, and molasses. Flavour is woody and barrel-dominated, with plenty of oak, vanilla, bourbon barrels, and molasses. Finishes with big bourbon, woody oak, and light-to-moderately sweet dark sugars. Excellent.

A very dark brown colour with a tad ruby highlights, a darker brown bubbly head, average stay and minimal lacing. Roasted barley aromas with some prunes, woodiness, and alcohol coming out eventually. This continues into the taste with the prunes taking over with molasses, and hints of cacao. The Bourbon notes are quite well-blended in here, so not getting too much of this American whiskey. Some good bitterness lingers in the finish. Much of a good Imperial Stout with those little extra added values.
