We took our 9 Pound Hammer Imperial Stout and created this stout of epic proportions. The first beer in our barrel reserve series is rich and roasty, with notes of chocolate and espresso. This beer spent months aging in bourbon barrels from our friends at Goodridge & Williams, an award winning local distillery. The aging process gives this brew hints of toffee, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.

Poured from 473mL can (canned 07/12/21). Pitch black with small beige head. Roast malt, a bit of toast, wood and booze, hint of caramel and astringency (especially as it warms up). Bourbon character is lacking. Not much in the way of depth. Despite all of this, it is more or less what I expect from Farm Country, maybe even slightly higher than what I expected.

473 ml can. Pours black with a moderate dark tan head. Aromas of dark dusty chocolate, molasses, vanilla, and subtle oak. Flavors of roasted malts, espresso and dry dark chocolate. Very dry finish. Rich and quite nice, but no appreciable barrel effects; which could add sweetness and bourbon, and would really make this outstanding.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Pitch black colour with generous brown head. Aroma of bourbon and wet cardboard. Medium body structure; the roasted malt flavour is prominent, with accents of heavily roasted nuts, almost burnt; notes of bourbon and cardboard.
It's a bit rough, and too 'dark' for my taste, but it's not bad.
