COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Silva Stout took a lot of patience. We aged our Double Stout in oak bourbon barrels for seventeen months. Flavors are very complex. It starts off with dark chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa powder. Next is the vanilla and wood notes, with rich cherry-like fruitiness. After racking and filtering the ale, we blended in just the right amount of freshly brewed Double Stout to provide the perfect balance of bourbon barrel aging and freshness. Enjoy the culmination of years of flavor development now – no further aging required!

harrisoni (10911) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - DEC 29, 2011
At Chriso tasting 2011. Black beer, lasting tan head. Some choc some whisky. Decent enough, it’s just a bit too big imo. Too whisky too hot. Too much, but still a good beer.
