750 waxed. 2021 vintage is 10.2% ABV and aged in Jameson barrels, not bourbon. Aromas of whiskey, coffee, green pepper, smoke, raisin, vanilla, nuts, coconut. Pours very dark brown to black with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet with a firm hoppy bitter edge. Very nice.

I love this beer. It's always cool to grab a big imperial stout from a brewery that I know for their hoppy beers, and it's this damn good. Dense appearance, midnight black pour. Flavor is full of vanilla, toasted nuts, chocolate, and a smooth bourbon that isn't close to boozy. Such a flavorful stout, and a really nice amount of barrel impression. An incredible stout here. It is an absolute crime that I've never been out to Bale Breaker yet.
