A blend of Imperial Stout from barrels that were all filled in the year 2022. This vintage was aged in Buffalo Trace, Stagg Jr., and Wild Turkey Rare Breed bourbon barrels. Average contact time in barrel is 29 months. As per usual with the Vintage Nectar releases, there are no adjuncts to mask the beautiful nuances and complexities of these barrels.

Roast and lots of caramel. Tons. Some sour mash whiskey. Black oily pour without much head. This beer is very big, and kind of add fuel to my opinion that without all the adjuncts these guys' beers wouldn't be that great. Tons of booze in the finish, and candied whiskey barrel aftertaste cloys for a while. At least I don't need to go blow money on more expensive 3 Sons big impy stouts. Bottle pour at Churchkey event.

On tap at Mikkeller Viktoriagade. Pours black. Roasted malts, charred wood, molasses, and bourbon on the nose. Flavour has roasted malts, liquorice, molasses, bourbon. Too thick on the palate. A bit unbalanced.
