After a long slumber in bourbon barrels, Rakefire has finally awoken! Dark, decadent, and intense, this imperial stout boasts notes of bittersweet chocolate, caramel and espresso. This double wood vaiant of our bourbon barrel-aged stout was finished on Brazilian amburana oak, imparting notes of sweet and spicy gingerbread, nutmeg and vanilla.

Pours a black no light getting through this baby to lighten the edges , small tan head or more lack of head. More or less pours as ringed scum no real head.
Aroma is wow cinnamon toasted ginger bread, doesn't say cinnamon so not sure if my nose just thinks its suppose to go with ginger or what. Caramel , roasted notes light coffee and chocolate good dose of vanilla and light oak bourbon barrel notes. the ginger defiantly pops out in front in this bottle anyway.
Taste is nice ginger out front also but not as bright as the nose, good vanilla roasted malts, light sweet chocolate, good vanilla, oak hints of bourbon that linger through the finish with a vanilla sweetness and touch of nutmeg for a lightly ginger bread man Christmas cookie. The 11% is well hidden and a non issue.
Mouthfeel is big medium not quite full with smooth carbonation.
Overall a nice smooth big dessert like stout on a hot 100 degree June heatwave day.
