21st May 2022 A light haze on this dark amber brown beer, small tan head. Nose of ripe fruity bourbon and a touch of dank wood. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. The malts, such as they are, bring a trace of creamy sweetness and an even lighter touch of toffee. The main feature here, front, centre and every other angle available - bourbon! Spicy ripe fruit bourbon, a little dank wood and a little barrel induced vanilla. Some fruit liqueur vibes on the alcohol spicy finish. Intense. Good fun.

Bottled. Dark brown with beige, lasting head. Tobacco, leather, ash, dried fruit. A bit too ashy for my liking. Some sweetness from a bit of caramel and dried fruit.

Bottle. Pure imperial stout. Leaning more towards peated tones maybe (what I don't mind at all). Great sipper

Bottle. Naaah. Not bad. Not great west coast showcase. Balancing somewhere on the edge maybe I would call it classic DIPA. Still nice though

Bottle. Truly nice sipper. Pretty straight forward imperial Stout pimped by aging in bourbon barrels. And that's it. You got pretty much everything you hoped for. No fancy stuff. No pastry weirdnesses. Very nice.
