Bottle pour at Barrel Fest 2025. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Lots of chilis, bourbon, and chocolate on the nose. Flavour has tons of chocolate and chilis, a lot of chili hitting the back of the throat. The cognac comes through stronger as it warms. I think the chilies are a bit much, but it does come together well.

Dark amber. The aroma is full of nutmeg, and vanilla, and it's light that in the palate, too. Quite sweet, so much nutmeg. The base beer is kind of getting crushed here, but was it good? To me, the base isn't enough to carry the sweetness.

Ok, so the appearance is lacking in darkness. There's some reddish-brown stuff, thin head. There's a bit of toastiness, though it smells like it'll be too thin. Okay body, some coffee, maybe caramel on it. It doesn't come across like an imperial stout to me, a more general strong ale. There's some alcohol in the finish, and there's also a bit of nuttiness.

500mL bottle. Pours black with a beige head. Nutmeg, vanilla, and bourbon barrels on the nose. Flavour has a ton of nutmeg, some notes of vanilla, lactose, excess sugars, and maybe some dry bourbon barrels floating along. Not good.

355mL can. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Bready malts and brown sugar on the nose. Flavour has brown bread malts, some crusts. Nice hoppy bit and a full body. Nicely constructed imperial stout.

473mL can, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is dry, with toasted nuts, dry cocoa, and some earthy bready malt. Flavour is very malty, being sweeter than expected, with toffee, caramel, cocoa, toasted malt, and a touch of toasted nuts. Finishes lightly sweet, bready and caramely. Solid.

Pale yellow, and hazy. Medium head. Fruity, apricot and orange hop notes. Good body, splash of alcohol…7% right on, and thankfully made at Cabin. Magnum for proper bitterness. Well-balanced, the malt allows the bright and fruity hops to shine.
