This is an Imperial Stout that is aged in bourbon barrels and Madagascar Vanilla beans. This one was really good. There was a lot of vanilla in the aroma along with some chocolate. The bourbon shows up more in the taste than in the smell. The vanilla is pretty dominate here but in good way. Very thick and chewy,
