Multi-Barrel Aged Stout
One Westland American Oak Single Malt Whiskey Barrel. One Westland Peated Single Malt Barrel. Both cold aging the same Imperial Stout base beer for 11 months, and then blended together for balance. Smoke, dark chocolate, and dried fruit aromas give way to vanilla, milk chocolate, and brown sugar flavors all wrapped up in a warming, woody finish. Eerschay otay Iskeywhay andway Outstay!

7 oz pour at my return to Cloudburst Brewing. Finally! I miss this place so much. Dense midnight pour, dark brown thin foam head. Robust, thick flavor, cocoa, coffee, and bold toasty malt. Soft barrel impressions, but they linger. They dont post abv at Cloudburst on the overhead menu, so I always get a chance to guess first. I pegged this at 9. At the most. Smooth, flavorful. Coffee like finish. Huge roast, toasty and warming finish. Excellent brew.
