Russian Imperial Stout (Aged in Bourbon Barrels)
Saint Arnold Brewing Company

12 oz bottle from the store for around $8. 11.5% abv Russian imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels, with vanilla, cocoa nibs, and coffee. Very nice taste. The barrel aging comes thru nicely for a good BA taste which is the dominant profile I'm picking up. The other flavors are hinted at, but not overwhelming in any way. A true Russian imperial stout. The high abv is hidden nicely. Definitely goes down easy. A just slightly higher than expected carbonation for this abv. Very nicely done beer. I loved the Pumpkinator from Saint Arnold, so I had high hopes for this one, and it did not disappoint. Definitely worth trying, but at that price point whether to buy again, probably would just go with something a bit cheaper like KBS

Found at Meddlesome Moth in Dallas. Good dark head. Very little lacing. A bit high carbonation for an aged beer. Heavy coffee and chocolate smell which is normal for this style. Hints of chili on the aftertaste. Tastes almost exactly like Prairie Bomb which is not a bad thing

Pour is jet black with a deep cinnamon head. - about a fingers worth.
Nose is roasted malt, soft bourbon, coconut, ash
taste follows. roasted malt, oaky vanilla, dark chocolate, soft bourbon, ash
Body is a bit thin for the style, a bit higher carbonation than i'd expect.
