Collaboration between Tempest and Emperor's is finally upon us. More than a stout, this is beer from another galaxy...Aggresively loaded with chocolate and roasted malts, the base stout spent the best part of a year in Bluegrass bourbon barrels, where the oak, vanilla and bourbon warmth perfectly balanced the roast bitterness and residual sweetness of the stout. As if it wasn't indulgent and complex enough, we rounded things off with a good, good amount of sticky Zahidi date syrup.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a super thick black with a thin layer of brown head. The nose is coffee, dark chocolate, dates, port, and bourbon.
The taste is fantastic. Definitely a red wine note coming through. The date syrup is there as well. Also getting nice layers of chocolate, molasses, vanilla, bourbon, and plums. Lovely beer!
Mouthfeel is thick and viscous, and the aftertaste is sweet dates and bourbon. Very intense and wonderful flavors!
