This is a big and bold imperial stout, a lot bigger and bolder than most. So, what does that make this beer then? An imperialer (it’s a word) stout? A more imperial stout? Let’s just say it’s big. And, it’s been barrel aged. And, we’ve put licorice in it. As one does. Big Idjit!

Idjit is one of those beers that we’ve done forever. A beer that started out as a horrible experiment. Then became our staple 9,5% ABV imperial stout. After a while we remade it up to 12% ABV, renaming it Big Idjit, jokingly calling it a ’Scandinavian Session Stout’. Big idjit is the perfect beer for barrel aging and refining. In fact, several barrel aged versions have carried the name Perfect Idjit. This version is taking it a step further, refining the beer after barrel aging. In this case by adding just the right amount of licorice to the beautiful bourbon barrel aged beer. What’s more perfect than perfect? Perfecter (it’s a word) Idjit. Good night!

Bottle from Livionia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Lots of warming bourbon on the nose with licorice, dark chocolate, vanilla and faint peppery aromas. More of the same on the palate. Nice bourbon and fudge goodness in a bottle. Warming finish with lots of bourbon and vanilla and dark chocolate with licorice. Great stuff as usual from Dugges!

Wow! Her var det mye smak, kanskje for mye? Jeg må passe blodtrykket med så mye lakris. Masse creamy, flat sødme
