I absolutely love how “ordinary” it is. Balanced really tasty BA impy.
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.
Bottle at bumba. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, cherry, fudge and booze. Taste has thick bourbon, cherry, booze, oak and caramel fudge. Boozy finish. Very nice, also quite boozy.
