Bottle, 650 ml, shared with MiroB and Luka. Dark brown with no head. Chocolate and bourbon, moderate sweetness, medium bodied. Nicely balanced.

Sweet and boozy, Hershey's chocolate sauce and bourbon. That's really it, but very nice anyway.

Bourbon barrel aged and vanilla, there’s a lotto anticipate with this beer. Another selection from my most recent purchase with Half Time, I have the cap removed and the contents of the 12 oz bottle going inside of a snifter. An appropriate but swell representation of the style inside the glass, dark brown-almost black liquid with a here and gone ring of light tan foam. The scent is attractive but I say that about all the pastry stouts. Sweet chocolate, raisins, booze and vanilla as advertised. I lift the glass for a drink. Shouldn’t have been concerned with a letdown, this is a solid imperial stout. It’s not overwhelming with sweetness like many in the style but does have it nonetheless. Dark chocolate, scorched grain, raspberries, chocolate malt, a touch of caramel, bourbon, vanilla and pecans. Moderately sweet with a lesser bitterness concluding. Just right with the sensation, well done Mister (or Ms) Unknown Brewer. I can tick off on one hand the imperial stouts I have really, truly enjoyed this year and I consider the style to be one of my top three. This joins the four other brews.
