We took our imperial brown ale that we brewed with Bolero Snort and aged it 11 months in a maple ex-bourbon barrel. After conditioning it on hazelnut coffee we were left with an intensely nutty and maple sweet brown ale with a complementary roasted coffee character.

16.9 ounce wax capped bottle, big thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Served in a chalice, the beer pours dark brown with about a half inch or so tan head that stuck around for a long time. Good amount of lacing. I like the aroma a lot, the brew smells like maple, hazelnuts, vanilla, bourbon and some roasted malt. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some toffee noticeable too. Leans sweeter tasting but not overpowering at all. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's slick and a bit rich with a moderate amount of carbonation. I thought this was a pretty good overall brew, I'll definitely want to stop at the brewery the next time I'm around Cincy!

From the 16.9 fl oz bottle in a snifter via the brewery. This solid little
brown imperial pours a dark and murky brown with a nice head of
khaki foam that settles to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and displays some
light lacing with light legs. Nose of roasted nuts, subtle coffee, rich maple,
vanilla,and dark brown sugars. Flavors surpass the nose with brown sugars,
vanilla, rich maple, roasted nuts, subtle coffee, faint bourbon, and toffee.
Mouth feel is medium, medium light carbonation, smooth, rich, warming,
and finishing moderately dry.
Overall, a stellar brew from a great little local brewery!
Cheers
