Barrel Aged Bomb! is the result of our world famous imperial stout, Bomb!, that was tucked away in wooden barrels for several months. Vanilla and caramel notes balance the big flavors from the whiskey barrels and come together for an extremely complex yet balanced experience.
ABV varies from batch to batch.

Appearance - The beer was deep black in appearance with tan bubbles crowning the pour.
Smell - Chocolate and cinnamon were the most prominent notes. It did not seem to have a lot of heat.
Taste - Like the nose, the profile was chocolate forward with cans of cinnamon. The booze was not terribly heavy. There was just a touch of spice that lingered at the finish.
Mouthfeel - I anticipated a bigger body with this beer. Did the barrel aging cause the body to deteriorate?
Overall - I had a little bit of disappointment with this one. It did not burn like regular bomb.

2021 vint 12 oz bottle into an oversized cognac snifter.
Pitch black. Low foam, leaves a lil ring of oily film instead.
Smells of dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel and bourbon.
Taste follows - cleans up with a zap of alcohol.
Feel is heavy - a stout Stout. Low to no carbonation.
Overall - if you an adjunct Stout fan, you’ll do cartwheels over this.
Meaty beaty big and bouncy.,
