Brewed in exchange for a notorious painting, the Urban Monk is a good friend, Ohio native, amazing artist and our Imperial Stout. Aged on local American single malt whisky soaked oak spirals from Blue Ridge Distilling Co. in Golden Valley, North Carolina. Expect deep notes of American hooch, toasted oak and roasted cacao.

750ml bottle poured into a snifter
2018 vintage
A- pours deep black in color with a one-finger creamy khaki head that has good retention
S- smoked barley gives a peat-like aroma up front, followed by caramel & chocolate. Undertones of oak, whiskey & campfire
T- smoked malt up front gives notes of campfire, followed by notes of chocolate and caramel. Mid-palate gives some oak and whiskey, the finish is more smoked barley
M- medium body with moderate carbonation, slightly foamy mouthfeel and finish
O- the smoked barley takes center stage with noticeable oak and whiskey undertones
