What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Big roasted malt and lots of vanilla oaky barrel goodness. Very dark roast character but not harsh or inky. Very boozy as well.”

Flavor: “Massive rich, sweet stout—caramel, chocolate, with lingering sweetness. Strong boozy barrel qualities pair well with the base beer, though the finish still comes across bordering on cloying.”

Overall: “Just a very big intense dark roasty, barrel-aged stout. A beer built for sharing for sure. Every sip just smacks you in the face with intensity.”

What the Brewers Say

“Our imperial stout brewed with Maris Otter and copious amounts of English Chocolate and Crystal malt. Decadent, thick, and a balance between roast and chocolate. Aged sixteen months in bourbon barrels.”
