Commercial Description:
Around the time of the Louisiana purchase, beer was shipped in barrels. if one had been lucky enough to receive a used Bourbon barrel of Imperial Stout, this is what his/her happy taste buds would have encountered: roasty, rich, malty imperial stout with a strong dose of caramel, oak, and Bourbon character. This is the perfect beer to pair with hearty, cold weather dishes, smoked meats, and virtually any dessert.

2007 bottle. Nice combination of bourbon and cocoa in both the nose and flavor. Mahogany pour...translucent around the edges with a nice latte head. Wish this one was significantly darker and had more body. Oak, caramel, brown sugar and molasses noticeable in this one, as well. Tasty but not on par with the best.

Not going to lie. I don’t totally remember this beer but whatever. Aroma is of roasted malt and sweets, flavor similar.

2007 vintage tasted 9/09 Pours pitch black with a big toasted marshmallow head. Nose was strong of bourbon, oak, chocolate, and raisin. Taste was hot, boozy, and thin.

2008 bottle with the immense packaging. Pours black with a small light tan head. Aroma if roasted malt, sweet cereal malt. Flavor is odd- sweet malt, cardboard. No bourbon at all really. This is a mediocre imperial stout and a sub-par bourbon-barrel impy. I’m not impressed. 7/4/5/3/12 [3.1/5]

Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, dark fruit. Flavor is very nutty, some caramel, and became more like hazelnut syrup as I drank more. Meh.

2008 750 mL bottle pours jet black with a little tan head. Good caramel and bourbon aroma, touch of earthy pine. Very nice sweetness and balanced bourbon flavors. Bourbon and caramel linger on the tongue. Pretty solid bourbon stout that i’d drink again.
