Not sure if this is the correct beer entry. Beer details:
blue wax, by Imprint, collab with mortals brewing. 13.5% 2026 on label,
Toasted coconut, jamaican blue mountain coffee beans & equadorian cacao nibs, rested 18 months on bourbon barrels.
my rating:
pitch black, brown to light brown small head that stays a while but disappears.
aroma of vanilla, coconut, chocolate. faint alc burn, those notes are close to bourbon notes so pretty hard to tell if it's from bourbon or from the stuff added to the beer, or both. slightly boozy in the aroma. quite strong vanilla like sweetness. chocolate cake. any coffee and roasted malts in the aroma are somewhat hidden away.
flavor is better. smooth roasted malts, coffe, chocolate, bourbon, faint licorice, alc. burns in the mouth, end is bourbon and chocolate and vanilla and coffee and roasted malts. a tiny bit too pastry and too little imp stouty to really nail it, but a decent ba imp stout anyways - it's full bodied and sort of complex, although i could really use some more coffee and roasted malts. not much trace of 18 months of barrelling, the bourbon yes, but wood - not much. it is very velvety and soft. layered. complex. that's a plus. good balance also.
