Coronado 12th Anniversary Bourbon Barrel-aged Belgian Stout

Brewed by Coronado Brewing Company
Style: Foreign Stout
Coronado, California USA

On tap at Coronado. Poured black with a small brown head. Aroma of cocoa, oats, vanilla, bourbon, wood and vanilla. Flavor was really nice, especially the soothing, lingering after tasted. Flavors predominantly of chocolate, roasted malt, bourbon and sweetness. A good amount of vanilla with a touch of caramel. A bit boozy, but not too bad. Good stuff.

On tap at Hamilton’s as BA Stoopid Stout. Pours a deep black with a tan ring. Aroma of sweet malt and sharp whiskey. Taste starts off sweet, of malt, caramel, and molasses, then picks up more whiskey, wood, and alcohol flavors. Huge lingering whiskey and wood tastes. Fantastic.

I got to try 3 BA imperial stouts today. GF, CBC, and BA Yeti. They are all different and good in their own way. The CBC had the most (lots) of bourbon barrel characteristics: oak, some oxidation. Black creamy head. Sweetish. A hint of booze. Excellent. Almost equally highest rated of the three.

Tap @ Ham’s listed as BA Stoopid Stout. Pours black with a tan head. Nose is smoky and roasty. Taste is sweet and chocolate, overall nice and big.

handbottle at a tasting at verdugo great nose...finishes a bit sweeet and the musty type of bourban age

On-tap at the CBC 12th Anni Party. Pours viscous and dark brown/black with a minimal, whispy light brown head. Smells somewhat subdued, sweet malty with some wood and vanilla. Tastes slightly sour malty with some very nice vanilla and wood flavors. The sour might come from the bourbon and the wood. Full body, smooth carbonation.
