Named for an infamous autocorrect error, this breathtakingly flavorful imperial stout is the result of our ongoing quest to summit the peak of liquid decadence. Aged for months upon months in bourbon barrels from a legendary house of bourbon sorcerers, this magnificent specimen emerged sporting notes of caramel, dark chocolate, oak and gentle vanilla, all ensconced in a thick, chewy mouthfeel that brings the whole sensory package home in spectacular fashion.

This one pours a very dark black color, with a very small white head, and not much lacing.
This smells like caramel, dark chocolate, peanut brittle, spicy oak, vanilla, and raisin.
This starts nicely sweet and creamy up front, with caramel, nuttiness, dark chocolate, and some light dark fruit. On the back end, the beer significantly dries out, with a spicy oaky finish that really helps to balance things out. This is a great expression of barrel character transforming the beer without making it boozy.
This is medium bodied, creamy, and with a nice barrel bite on the finish, and a very good drinkability.
This is was quite enjoyable. It's almost boring at this point - every Modern Times stout that I've had lately has been excellent.
