This 14% Russian Imperial Stout spent over a year aging in Buffalo Trace maple syrup barrels. Opens with huge bourbon and barrel notes. This full-bodied barrel-aged beer features a sweet—yet balanced—mix of all its elements, making it one of our favorites.

Sampling a refrigerated 32 oz crowler purchased at the brewery on 12/28/2024. Pouring into my trusty snifter.
The beer pours a black coffee color with some minimal dense beige head of about 1 cm. The beer leaves some very scattered lacing and foam fades to a thin edge layer during the sampling.
Aroma on this beer is roasted malt and some fudge with a good amount of bourbon and brown sugar mixing. No hints of ABV and the nose isnt fusol or overly boozy.
First sip reveals a medium body, slightly sticky mouthfeel and texture that coats my palate and lips on each sip. Carbonation is fine and sort of spacious. Drinks fairly easy for a 14% brew and is probably going to be dangerous by the end of the can.
Flavor is fudge brownie, brown sugar and some sweetish bourbon. No hint of hops anywhere, but also not very boozy or fusol hot. This is a dangerous big beer, that I am definitely enjoying. Worth a stop at this new-ish brewery in southcentral PA.
