Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with pomegranates, raspberries, macadamia nuts, and vanilla beans
Don’t worry, the only thing spilled here is some beer. We treated this bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with pomegranates, raspberries, macadamia nuts, and Tahitian vanilla beans for a perfectly sweet-meets-tart delight with a slightly nutty finish. Best paired with 9 hours and 17 minutes of Middle Earth.

750 ml bottle, 2023 vintage, bottled 01/24/23. Served in a Bruery tulip, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head that stuck around for a while. Decent amount of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like raspberries, nuts, roasted malt, vanilla, pomegranate and some bourbon. I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some burnt/charred malt, dark bread and oaky flavors. The berry flavor is both sweet and tart, although it is a sweeter tasting brew in general. Mouthfeel/body is full, it's syrupy and coating with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this brew a lot, certainly worth trying if you're into sweeter tasting imperial stouts!

Look: very dark brown, light mocha head.
Smell: Macadamia vanilla nutty on the first sniff. Chocolate raspberries on the second. Afraid, I’m not sure what pomegranate smells like so unsure there.
Taste: sweet, nutty, raspberry.
