Named after the Barbarian mascot and brew dog, Conan the Destroyer is the biggest and baddest Imperial Stout we have ever made to date. We brewed a strong Russian Imperial Stout (in honor of Conan's Siberian Husky roots) and aged it in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels.

Draft at Barbarian Downtown. Near black pour, ring of beige foam, rings of lacing. Aroma is dark chocolate and roasty malts. Taste is strong, but not overly boozy, chocolate, roast. Bourbon barrels well blended in so as not to stand out. Pretty smooth for the strength.

On-tap at the Garden City brewery. Surprisingly isn’t pitch black, though it is still very very dark, the edges of the glass show brown, clear-ish light…no head or lacing really. Roast and sweetness abound, that bourbon-y caramel and toffee type of sweetness, sticky figs and raisins, minor tart cherry even…massive bourbon sweetness, but minimal burn, which is awesome. Sticky dry finish. Big bodied for sure but not chewy. The sweetness comes off as chocolate-y for sure. There are notes of vanilla too, not as prominent. Maybe some earthy, slightly dank hops.

Overall…well, who can complain about a 15% that shines with this kind of barrel character and minimal ethanol burn.

Still, a small serving size is the way to go on this one!
