Rye Barrel-aged imperial stout,
Intensely aromatic stout with rich, chocolate aromas and deep roasted malt flavours. Aged in Rye whisky barrels, this version also presents vanilla and wood notes. The bitter finish serves to balance the rich, caramelized flavours and higher alcohol content.

From a 341mL bottle, dated 2022-06-17. Caisse mixte hivernale contenant quatre bières de la gamme rėserve. Served in a tulip.
Pours a thick-appearing motor oil-black with chestnut highlights. A scant finger of fizzy brown foam holds up for under a minute leaving a wispy cap, narrow collar and a barely rousable spatter of dotted lacing.
Nose is sweet, rich and boozy. Liqueur-like. Aroma of caramel and something sharp and spicy.
Tastes strongly of woody/boozy/sour grain and unsweetened chocolate scrapings. Charred malt and burnt caramel with a hot, spicy boozy top.
Feel is thick and malty, a dense body with fine, prickly carbonation. It doesn’t feel half as boozy as it tastes.
Overall, a little bit of a mixed bag for me. The label promises me a bitter finish but the hot, sour rye whiskey character right from the get-go was so intense that whatever was intended to come after got totally subsumed - for worse and for better, because it is a truly fine barrel flavour.
