Aged on bourbon barrels.
Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 2012 är en imperial stout – det vill säga ett opastöriserat, överjäst och mycket mörkt öl av gammaldags brittisk typ – som lagrats på bourbonfat. Den präglas av stor kryddighet där smak och doft av vanilj, torkad frukt, kaffe och kakao balanseras av en lätt bränd sötma och humlens aromer. Tydliga drag av ek och bourbon ackompanjerar de övriga smakerna till fulländning.
Klassifikation: Fatlagrad imperial stout
Användning: Slottskällans Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 2012 är en öl som långsamt kan avnjutas i små klunkar i till exempel ett konjaksglas, antingen som den är eller eller tillsammans med ostar, nötter eller blandade, inte allt för starka salamisorter. Ett annat lysande komplement till den här ölen är choklad eller en god vanlijglass.
Innehåll: Fyra sorters malt: pilner-, choklad- och svartmalt samt ljus karamellmalt.
Tre sorters humle: Northen brewer, Fuggle och East kent golding.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of Swedish friends. Thanks Alex and Thomas! Pours a black appearance with a nice sized brown head. A bit tangy fruity, plum, raisin, fig, big anise, roasty malty aroma. Kind of bitter and strangely cloying syrupy sugary, dark chocolate, light vanilla, big raisin/dark grape/anise flavor. I really didn’t get any bourbon in this. Pretty similar to the non-barrel aged version.

(Draught at Kaisla, 20121103) The beer poured black. Its head was small and light brown. Aroma had roasted malts, liquorice and wood. Palate was full bodied, warming and dry with quite high carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, vineousness, wood, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was woody, vineous and roasty. Not so good as the normal version and especially the palate was quite weird with the high biting carbonation.

Flaska från SB. Mörkbrun vätska, lågt snabbt försvinnande skum. Väldigt kryddig doft. Nejlikor, garam masala, viss alkohol, sötlakrits och något vinöst drag. Spritig och kryddig smak, lite len whiskey typ red label, sötlakrits. Viss beska, inte lika massivt som den vanliga IS utan istället ganska spritig. Nja, bra men inte mer.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2012) Dark brown colour, almost black, with brief beige head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, chocolate, a touch of coffee and vanilla. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dried fruit, chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar and a gentle, spicy bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness (but not overly sweet). Chewy and almost oily mouthfeel. Very nice. (7/4/8/5/15=3.9) Rerate: (Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Oct 2014) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dried fruit, chocolate, vanilla and hints of whisky. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, dried fruit, a touch of whisky, oak wood, liquorice and a balanced roasted bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Very tasty, and in excellent balance, with alcohol fairly well hidden. Excellent beer!

Draught @ SWBF’12
Pours pitch black with a foamy head. Aroma of roasted malts, vanilla, oak and sourish notes. Taste is sweet and woody with notes of roasted malts, hints of vanilla and sourness. Finish is sweetish and slightly roasty. Unbalanced imperial stout, a lot worse than the regular one.
