Our friends over at Kentucky’s own Willett Distillery have one kind of barrel: wood. And they put two things in them: Bourbon and Rye. We were fortunate enough to get some of their Bourbon barrels, and we put a special coffee-fied version of our Imperial Stout in them.

Bottle sent by Lagunitas for comment. I needed to pour this pretty full before it would kick up any head, and there it is, tan and rather short-lived. Solid black body, and a very heady alcohol nose. Smell has some strong coffee to it, but it’s more of a roast note that goes with the black malt rather then blending with the alcohol like Kahlua. Taste is also quite strong, and sticky. Toasty coffee blends with the black malt. Yes, deep and roasty, but the overall effect is quite smooth. Good dessert or holiday sampling beer.

Black color. Spirit aroma. Good body strength, dark malts with spicy character, strong alcohol. A bit edgy but very good.

Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Big whisky forward nose: tobacco, oak, vanilla, chocolate, tea and caramel. Lots of whisky on the palate, peat, faint smoke and coffee. A big roasty finish, with coffee flavors abound. Pretty awesome for the price. Nice stuff.
