Bourbon Barrel Aged French Toast Imperial Stout is a delicious testament to smoldering intensity. Prepare for the smooth vanilla, zesty cinnamon, and sweet maple syrup of the original to be epically enhanced by the finest Kentucky Bourbon Barrels. This sweet treat's time in oak barrels has forged an entirely new creation. Taste this beauty after its bourbon-barrel transformation, and give in to sweet intensity.

At 56 degrees pours dark brown/ruby with a creamy dark beige cap/some rocks; streaming carbonation; very good cap retention; heavy ring; medium lacing; medium minus legs. Nose is vanilla, maple syrup and cinnamon. Taste is mostly cinnamon; followed by chocolate, vanilla, and maple; more cinnamon as beverage warms. Medium minus body, moderate minus carbonation; no warmth from 8.8% abv; spicy (cinnamon) tongue coating. Overall, more cinnamon than I want, and out of balance; the nose was vanilla/maple forward, but the spicy cinnamon crushed those flavors on the taste...like when Xocoveza went overboard with cinnamon a few years ago; and the thin mouth feeling gravitates me to render a rare, for me, negative overall score.

Poured moderately hard from a bottle into a snifter glass, barely forming some head before quickly fading to light lacing. Deep brown cola color. Smell is gentle bourbon with a bit of sweetness. Taste is bourbon forward, but not overly strong. The background reminds me of the standard French toast stout from Wicked Weed, but I wish it was stronger. French toast taste increased as it warmed, but not as much as I would like. Just shy of medium bodied with light carbonation. Excellent, mildly sweet, bourbon aged stout, but at ~$13 for a 12.7 fl oz, way too expensive. Best to stick with the standard Wicked Weed French toast.

Pours a rich, chocolatey brown with two fingers of dark tan head. Thick sheets of lacing.
Light aroma of vanilla, maple, cinnamon and bourbon.
The taste is way bigger than the nose let on. Super sweet maple and vanilla up front, with appropriately-strong cinnamon added, a little brown bread and some light, caramel-and-almond-forward bourbon. Moderate alcohol burn and some stale hops in the finish.
Thin bodied for the style, as is the norm for Wicked Weed. Lightly syrupy with modest carbonation.
Definitely does give a French toast impression. To my taste, could be improved with some coffee bitterness and a thicker body.
