Kuhnhenn Bourbon Barrel American Imperial Stout

Draft at Kuhnhenn’s. First I have to thank Eric for sharing this special treat with me. Three Floyds eat your heart out... if Kuhnhenn’s ever bottles this Dark Lord is done. Pours a deep dark brown/black with a thin brown head that disappears into a thin blanket and leaves slight lacing. Aroma is huge, oak, bourbon, earth, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, roasted malts, and coffee all playing a part in creating this wonderful smell. Taste is stunning to the taste buds, like a desert explosion in beer form using every one of the factors in the smell to create one of the most even and well crafted beers that I have ever in my 32 years of life had the honor of experiencing. Literally every thing that you could taste in the beer you could smell as well and none of it was overpowering to another part of it. I really wrestled with giving this beer a 5 but to be honest it deserves nothing less and will get nothing less from me. Simply put... Absolutely Brilliant.

Had this at the winter beer fest, am just posting my rating now. big rich dark beer. Loads of bourbon, caramel, coffee, vanilla. super roasty and burnt, with alcohol at the end. Very good and strong. Would like to try this again.

MI BG Winer Fest. Pours inky jet black with a minimal dark brown with golden highlights colored head. Aroma is exceptional, bourbon, roasted malts, coffee, toffee, caramel, vanilla, glade need to make an air freshener that smells like this! Flavor has all the same characteristics bourbon, roasted malts, coffee, toffee, caramel, vanilla, burnt sugar, alcohol. Palate is huge, mildly carbonated, sweet, sticky, creamy, smooth, a hint of alcohol warmth. The bomb!!! Easily can be spoken of in the same sentence as Speedway!! Yeah its that good!
