9100th review! 500 ml bottle into snifter, 2019 vintage. Pours dense pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky dark tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, caramel, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, roasted nuts, biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of coconut, licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, oak char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toast/oaky earthiness. Slight booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, bourbon barrels, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, caramel, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, roasted nuts, biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of coconut, licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, oak char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toast/oaky earthiness. Very minimal herbal, grassy, roast, charred bitterness; and bourbon/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, caramel, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, roasted nuts, biscuit, dark bread/crust, coconut, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, oak char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toast/oaky earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, bourbon barrels, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a solid roasted bitter/sweet and bourbon/oak spiciness balance; with no cloying sweetness after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Light-medium carbonation and super full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety, lightly slick, and slightly sticky/chalky/tannic mouthfeel that is insane. Mild increasing warmth of 11.3%, with no lingering barrel booze after the finish. Overall this is an insane imperial stout! All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, bourbon barrels, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; dangerously smooth and easy to sip on for the huge ABV, with the minimally bitter/tannic/drying finish; insanely soft/silky feel. Perfectly balanced between super rich malts, fruity/nutty coffee complexity, and bourbon barrel presence/integration. Mild earthy hops, and fruity yeast. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly amazing offering, and world class style example.
