This Imperial Stout was aged for up to seven months in Heaven Hill bourbon and Pinot barrels, with vanilla beans added during cold conditioning, resulting in a decadent cornucopia of flavors and aromas – including dark chocolate, vanilla and licorice – with bourbon soaked dark fruit and tobacco undertones.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. 2011 version. Aroma is roasted with dark malt, rich chocolate, Bourbon, vanilla beans, coffee, tart red fruits, and caramel fudge. Flavour is sweet and light tart with some bitterness in the finish. Body is full. Complex and lovely, lots of depth.

Draft @ Beer Temple, 2011 issue. Pitch black color. Frothy light brown head. Aroma's: boterbabbelaars, vanilla, hopjesvla, light tar/roast. Retronasal it's hopjesvla, sweet, vanilla, hint of sourness. Flavor is above moderate sweet, roasty, with a hint of sourness. Medium bodied, again, hardly feels like 8.8 ABV. Long finish, roasty, slightly dry, moderate bitter. Very interesting and unique.

Tap at the barrel house as Vintage Diesel #2. Pours really dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is very chocolate, and maybe a little coffee. Full bodied. Flavor is chocolate, touch/hint of coffee, dark treacle, burnt malt. Pretty smooth. Finishes slightly earthy, slightly sweet, dark chocolate. Very nice.

On tap at Cascade, pours black with a medium creamy brown head. Aroma brings out rich molasses, vanilla and bourbon barrels - very decadent. Flavour is similarly decadent, with big notes of roasted malt, molasses, bourbon, vanilla and candied sugar. Extraordinarily complex, with a finish of chocolate and vanilla beans. Awesome bourbon impie.
