Got this one from the liquor store in Maarssen
From a bottle into a snifter
BA Imperial smoked wheat stout
Aged 456 days in Ben Nevis whisky barrels
Best Before June 2040
APPEARANCE: Clear black pour yields a two finger, medium-thicker looking, creamy light brown head with great retention. Black body with slightly higher levels of carbonation evident. Head slowly recedes to a full, creamy cap. A swirly wisp and ring remains leaving decent lacing down the glass as it empties. Solid looking.
SMELL: Definite peated aromas, with smoked malts, whisky, vanilla cream, caramel and toffee as well as some milk chocolate. Solid alcohol there as well.
TASTE: Smoked malts, whisky and alcohol up front, with lightly peated flavors at the swallow. Bold and boozy finish of whisky, peated and smoky flavors, toffee sweetness, some vanilla cream and milk chocolate linger on the palate. Notes of roasted coffee behind some of the smoked malts and boozy barrel.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. Creamy on the palate, goes down fine with a bit of a bite and finishes quite mouth-coating on the palate. Some light heat lingers.
OVERALL: Solid stuff. The look and feel are really nice while the nose and flavor show well measured balance. While I wouldn’t quite call this decadent, I would certainly say it’s worth checking out if you like smoked stouts with a boozy barrel quality. Cheers!
