Appearance - Pours a jet black with two fingers of frothy mocha head.
Smell - Oak whisky barrels, earthy and leafy hops, raisin, plum, fig, roasted malts, floral notes, earthy yeast, cocoa/chocolate, cinnamon.
Taste - Starts with earthy/leafy/floral hops, followed by the flavours from the whisky barrel, cocoa, roasted malts, and cinnamon. Finishes with earthy yeast. Dark fruits are sort of there, but mostly dominated by barrel and cinnamon.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth with lingering aftertaste of the barrel and cinnamon.
Overall - A superb imperial stout from Cannery. This version takes their initial Kindling stout and makes it a true stand out. The whiskey barrel is not as potent as in other barrel aged brews I've sampled which makes this a truly dangerous sipper. The ABV is well hidden in this one. I like how the cinnamon takes precedence in this one. A truly unique brew and a must try.
