Rye Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Cacao Nibs, Coffee and Yuzu
RBBAIMSwCNC&Y starts with dessert-like aromas of a yuzu opera cake. Bright yuzu notes pops out first followed by dark-fruit like coffee notes that blends in well with the raisin-like rum barrel characters. On the palate, the milk-chocolate flavors become more prominent and accentuates the toffee-like bourbon barrel characters. The citrusy notes help balance the complex malt profile just like the grand marnier in an opera cake.

Bottle shared at the craft beer junction bermondsey tasting. Many thanks. A clear dark brown black coloured pour with a a fading halo of tan head. Aroma is semi sweet, cinnamon light smoke, brown sugars, berries, some harsh alcohol. Palate is semi sweet, oily, light spicy, oak. Interesting. Little rough round the edges.

Bottle at CBJ tasting, thanks to Tips. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy palate, decent fine carbonation. Very light for the style. Light tangy dark malts, a little creamy dark malt. Whiskey dark fruits, whisper of peat. Airy light finish. A bit airy and very slightly wishy washy.

Rich and toothy, sweet and thick but not cloying, some ashy roast, aged dark fruits, burnt toffee, plum, chocolate. Rather enjoyable.

Never checked this in at last year’s anniversary so doing it this year. All the flavours are there, lots of cacao nib, soft coffee roast, light touch of yuzu to brighten it up. Rich thick.
