An imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels that is meant to highlight the three things that make up the stout: the beer that was brewed, the barrels that the beer aged in and the time the beer spent aging in those barrels. Brian (formerly of Goose Island), Tommy (formerly of Perennial) and Cory tasted through more than 50 of our bourbon and whiskey barrels in an attempt to craft the blend. We chose a selection of barrels, a majority from Willett and the rest from Heaven Hill that exemplified what we believe to epitomize Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout.

Beer : Barrel : Time is planned to be a yearly release that will happen every Thanksgiving weekend. It will always be no adjunct purity.

Bourbon barrel aged imperial stout by this highly acclaimed brewery in Missouri, thanks Tom for sharing at Bumb3r. Some pale off-white bubbles here and there but otherwise close to no head, black robe with hazy copper-hued edges. Intense and deliciously fragrant bouquet of chocolate liqueur, old madera, wet oak including the vanilla aspect, coffee cream, hazelnut oil, whisky, beef stock, caramel, touch of soy sauce. Sweetish, concentrated onset with umami mixed in, as sugared gravy with raisins, softly carbonated, very full, vinous, oily mouthfeel. Deep and thick nutty and toffeeish malt body with softly roasted bitter tail drenched in wet oak tannins and long-stretching, heating bourbon-coloured booziness; ends very rich bittersweet and complex. An astonishing 'bière de dégustation' indeed, worth the hype that seems to surround it.
