Russian Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels

This 12 month barrel-aged version of our award-winning Expedition Stout thirsts for travel, but is perfectly content to sit in your cellar, maturing, until you are ready. The tough part? Deciding if you want to enjoy it now or wait until later. You can't go wrong either way.

355ml bottle @ 9k tasting. Vertical with regular version. Pours pitch black with a small head. Aroma of roasty malts, dry earthiness and wood, hints of oak, toffee and syrup. Taste is dry, roasty and woody with some oak, vanilla, hints of bourbon and earthiness. Finish is dry, roasty and earthy with some bourbon, oak, wood and vanilla. Quite dry and sweetish, not that heavy on bourbon notes. Good, but not quite as good as the regular version.

Bottle thanks to RobertDale! Pours opaque black, small brown head, dissipates slowly, creamy with good lacing. Aroma is rich, mocha, bourbon, vanilla, molasses, leather, and a hint of cherry. Flavor is fully sweet, medium bitter, mega rich and smooth. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Excellent.
