Formerly called "Peruvian Morning"
A bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout made with freshly roasted Emy J's coffee. This beer is as complex as it gets. Flavors of vanilla, tannins, and coffee meld together to create a flavor as deep as the ravines of the Peruvian Andes.

2013 Release: Recalled (at least in part) due to infection

12 oz bottle from '12
A: Deep brown color with a thin white head. Came off as thin
S: Aroma was of coffee and malt. Nothing overwhelming to the nose. Did not have any infected/sour nature to it. Blend was quite pleasant.
T: Coffee flavor was there, but wasn't potent. Had a bitter nature to it, but wasn't quite as good as how it smelled.
M: Not much carbonation, felt a bit thin on the body. Still better than average feel, but not in the top level.
O: Enjoyable, but nothing that is considered top notch. Had this bottle with the bourbon barrel and this wasn't nearly as good.

Thank you @basaywhat
Pours into glass black and starlys that way with a fizzy Mocha head that goes away as quickly as it build. Not much barrel on the nose but it comes in nicely on the palate along with some delicious coffee and cocoa flavors. Chocolate and crystal type malts dance in there with no noticeable hops.
Worth seeking out.

poured from a 12oz brown bottle – label notched 2018
Bourbon Barrel Peruvian Morning– Brewers Reserve poured an almost black/very dark brown with a thin tan head. The head dissipated rather quickly to a small and narrow collar of foam. The smell is dominated by coffee and bourbon from the oak barrels. The taste is of coffee and chocolate up front with hints of caramel and bourbon at the finish. Mouth feel is high-medium to full with moderate carbonation. There is a little warming from the bourbon at the finish.
Peruvian Morning is a complex flavorful American Imperial Stout that is very drinkable for its high ABV.

Very chilled bottle poured into my GI snifter. As it warms over 45 minutes the coffee and barrel presence become more pronounced with the barrel having the upper hand. I expected a bit more from this one; still a very good beer.
