2021 Specialty Series: BBA Imperial Stout
O'Connor Brewing Co.

Another good one from O'Connor! Very similar to the version I had the day before that featured Coconut! Poured from a 12 oz. can into a pint glass this beer has a dense black color, a small fizzy light brown head with average retention and some small foamy patches of lacing on the glass. The head is plenty good enough for such a strong beer. Aroma and taste primarily feature strong bready malt and the flavor from the bourbon barrel. There is some vanilla in the mix too. Very tasty!!!! Mouthfeel is rich and mostly smooth but there is more of a harsh alcohol presence than in the version with coconut. Not enough to affect the Mouthfeel rating though. The rich flavor makes it. I had it with chicken in an Indian flavored sauce (left over from the day before) and the beer was a perfect pairing!!!!
