This imperial stout was brewed with caramel 1201, roasted barley, chocolate and honey malt - then fermented with a high-attenuating Norwegian Kviek yeast. After primary fermentation, this ale matured in premium Kentucky bourbon barrels for several months picking up notes of oak and vanilla.

The pour was stout black with almost no carbonation. Not unusual for a barrel aged stout.
The taste is, for lack of a better description, typical stout. Coffee, cacao, bitter from hops or maybe burnt malt. There is some bourbon but it is faint.
The feel is very lightly viscous, appropriate for the 10.5%
OA, not a bad BA stout, but it certainly didn’t blow my doors off. Then again, most beers don’t.
