Commercial Description:
Barrel-aged in Woodford Reserve bottles. Brooklyn Black Ops does not exist. However, if it did exist, it would be a robust stout concocted by the Brooklyn brewing team under cover of secrecy and hidden from everyone else at the brewery. Supposedly, "Black Ops" was aged for four months in bourbon barrels, bottled flat, and re-fermented with Champagne yeast, creating big chocolate and coffee flavors with a rich underpinning of vanilla-like oak notes. They say there are only 1000 cases. We have no idea what they’re talking about.

Bottle at the rake, tasting thanks to harry. Alround rating: Very bitter dark chocolate, like we’re talking 85% or above here, alc is present and peppery, its quite drinkable all the same.

Garrett Oliver beer dinner in Hillerød. Black with a lasting tan head. Roasted aroma, mostly chocolate with coconut/bourbon oak notes. Rich and intense dark flavour of dak chocolates and coffee. Bourbon notes and a good bitterness. Very elegant beer

Bottle. High and lasting creamy light brown head. Pitch black body. Roasted malt aroma of coffee choccolate and a hint of the bourbon. Powerful coffee choccolate flavor with bourbon but strangely I could not taste the wood. Fair amount of hops bitterness. Alcohol well hidden. Low carbonation, long aftertaste.

Realley nive mouthfeel. The apperance is awesome. Dense beatiful foam and creamy bubbles. The barrelaging is not detectable. Not so massive and undrinkable as other extreme imperial stouts.

750 in small tulip. Black with dense lasting brown head and lace. Boozy bourbon espresso and chocolate aroma. Boozy bourbony dark chocolate and dark fruit with boozy mouth-coating slightly woody finish. The best thing about this beer is its beautiful appearance. Might have been better without the bourbon barrels. Still, nice and rich.
