When we made the original Times 8, we thought we could kill craft with a beer that brought an over-the-top, 16% ABV imperial pasty stout together with a Willy Wonka assortment of vanilla, cocoa, maple syrup, butterscotch and coconut. But once again, we were mistaken – we forgot to age it in barrels. So to put the cherry on top of this ridiculous collab, we placed the beer in fresh bourbon barrels for a year to suck out all of the spicy, vanilla oaky notes and smooth, boozy finish. We’re sure you’re going to love this monster of a stout – just make sure you bring an insulin shot and a pint of Pilsner to wash it down.

Clear dark brown to black beer, practically no head. Aroma: wow, lots of alcohol, pretty oxidized, good dark roast, sweet, some Amaretto, malty. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very sweet and sugary start, lots of alcohol, some chocolate, vanilla, lots of caramel, more alcohol. Aftertaste: sweet and sugary, alcohol, lots of chocolate, moderate bitterness in the finish.

Pours black, no real head. Scent is roasty, sweet. Doesn't show the specific ingredients, but has a nice complete feel to it nevertheless. Taste is very full, intense, thick, low carbo. Chocolate. Nice alcohol warmth, not being boozy. All the elements blend into a wholesome totality. None of them are to be recognized on their own, which is a perfect example of balance, though balance is not what you'd expect in this type of beer. Impressive stuff, thats for sure !

330ml can. Almost black with a thin brown head disappearing quickly. Aroma of chocolate, maple, bourbon. Taste is very rich, sweet, massive chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla, coffee, subtle coconut, bourbon, warming alcohol (doesn't taste anywhere close to the 16% though!), no bitterness at all. Full bodied, smooth. Really can't criticise anything with this stout. Lervig's other recent BA releases were all overwhelmingly barrely, but in this one you can still taste all the base flavours. And it's incredible.

Süßer, starkmalziger Beginn. Viel Kakao, moderate Herbe, würzig schokoladig. Alkoholischer Mittelteil, süß, was aber gut ins Bild passt. Würzig, fast zuckrig, Noten von Vanille, erstaunlich hohe Süffigkeit. Trockener, malzig würziger Abgang. 10/13/12/13//13

0.33 l can from 'Craftbeerrockstars.de', best before August 2030. Black with a thin, frothy, quickly diminishing, brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently roasty and just a little boozy aroma of praline, molasses, coffee, tobacco, caramel fudge, vanilla and a touch of bourbon. Heavily sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of praline, caramel fudge, coffee, vanilla, hazelnut, maple and hints of bourbon, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, a little boozy finish. Full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, almost flat. I can't believe this has got 16% abv, it's neither overly thick nor boozy. The barrel is hardly detectable, but the flavours of the base beer are already insanely intense. It's super sweet, yet quite complex and quaffable. I like it a lot, even though a but less of the sweetness would be appreciated.
