355ml bottle. (2022 vintage). Pours an opaque black with a medium, creamy, short lived, brown head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate, coffee, bourbon and oak. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, vanilla and oak in a dry, mild bitter, bourbon warming finish. Medium to full body with a sticky, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. A world class Impy that was a pleasure to sip on.
Crowler from Harvest. Pours a pitch black with a full finger of brown head that lingers. Big espresso and coffee aromas with some tobacco notes as it warms. Bourbon is there on the nose as well as some cacao nib notes. More of the same on the palate...espresso, bourbon, oak and cacao nib. Warming bourbon finish with espresso all the way down. Glad I was finally able to try this whale. Very nice BA stout.
Bottle shared at Dangerous Bottleshare 10th Anniversary. Thanks to Aaron for bringing this! Been looking forward to this like a child looks forward to unwrapping the big hard christmas present under the good ol tree. Ya know. Pours pitch black with a medium brown head. Aromas of coffee, vanilla, dark fruits, coconut, bourbon, cinnamon, roast, dark and light chocolate. Taste is subtle green fruity coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, subtle coconut, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, dates, molasses, roast, light licorice, oak, dry wood. God damn, this is good! Best of the night.
Bottle, many thanks anstei! Black color with beige head. Aroma is coffee, bourbon, super intense, but also balanced. Taste is bourbon, coffee, chocolate. Super smooth mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Hard to improve on this one, it's worth all the praise!
Bottle. Aroma is indeed bourbon barrel aged Vietnamese Speedway. Slightly burnt, but also super balanced, with great intensity and flavours. An outstanding beer which deserves all the praise. Very close to perfection.
