Tasted aug 2026 - 10yrs old. Looking forward to this..
pours very dark brown, settles black witha bubbly brown to light brown head that does not last.aroma has some oxidized woody notes, wood and oxidized , faint yeasty notes, some dark dried fruits, if i didn't know better i would guess bourbon barrel aged belgian quad.vineous notes. quite clean and imp. stoutish ( or quad'ish ) with no flavors from stuff added (cause no stuff was added i guess) refined. exsquisite, decadent, sipper worthy of being had in an old fashioned private library, but my home office must have to do. flavor is very much like the aroma , with dried dark fruity notes, woody notes, faint oxidized notes, vineous notes - but the original imp stout is more easily detected in the flavor. faint notes of bitter caramel, roasted malts, licorice, faint chocolate, faint espresso coffee.. I think this one is past its prime, a bit more hit by age than bourbon county stout's of about the same vintage would be. still a treat. looking forward to the days ahead when i empty this magnificent bottle.
