Aged for four months in bourbon barrels from the distillery in Kentucky, the Bourbon Barrel Stout is a robust yet balanced beer. Roasted malts give it a chocolate and coffee overtone, and the oak creates hints of vanilla and caramel. At 10.5% ABV, this stout pairs well with smokey barbeque sauce or even rich desserts.

Bottle shared by Mike, thanks for the opportunity! Rich roasty chocolate and caramel offset by earthy woody bourbon notes that compliment quite nicely. Great stout!

Bottle shared at the bar in the Tulip Inn, Bodegraven post BBF day 2, by a friendly Geordie guy who used to be a train spotter 27/09/14. Dark mahogany brown with moderate tan spotting and edgework. Nose is big roast, spice, bourbon ba tunes, toffee, earthy. Taste comprises toffee fudge, the bourbon isn’t shy in this one, roast malt, spice. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok BA impy, easy drinking but ultimately lacks depth for the ABV, BBA impy for beginners!

750mL bottle, sent from mista (thanks a lot, Geoff), pours black with a tan head. Aroma of bourbon barrels and a slight wild yeast infection. Flavour is similar, with notes of mild bourbon, muted roast, a very slight wild yeast infection, and a mineraly quality that is detracting from the complexity. Pretty light on the palate, without much flavour dynamics. Decent, but of the mark.

209. Lots of oxidation but sometimes that can be a good thing. Still up there with vanilla and bourbon. I liked it better fresh but it's goo

Location: Bottle at Paul's Blind Impy Stout Tasting, 1/5/13
Aroma: The nose had some bourbon, vanilla, and wood, with chocolate and coffee notes
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a beige head and some drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is similar to the nose, a mix of malty sweetness and some boozy flavors
Palate: This one is fairly full bodied, with a smooth feel, and some alcohol burn
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty tasty. Maybe the alcohol burn hurts it a bit, but it still works pretty well overall.

750ml bottle pours a opaque black with one ring of creamy off white head. Aroma of chocolate milk, malt balls, woody, toasted coconut, vanilla, grainy, coffee grounds, dark chocolate, a little licorice. Flavor is nice and well balanced, sweet, malty, licorice, caramel, toasted bread, coffee grounds, heavy on the dark chocolate, vanilla, a little cherry, some booze, a little grain alcohol. Full bodied, lightly sticky finish.
