COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
2nd Anniversary Imperial Stout, aged in bourbon barrels for almost 6 months.
A dream come true! Our 2nd Anniversary Barrel Aged Ale is truly a pleasure to enjoy while sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying good company! While cold, much of the flavor is subdued, but still a wonderful beverage. Once it warms in your hand, all of the flavor of dark creamy chocolate is unleashed! This malty beast clocks in at a staggering 14% ABV, making it best enjoyed slowly!

One liter bottle shared by fata2683, drank in the van. A smooth rich caramel, vanilla and bourbon nose. The flavor is a hot shot of bourbon, roast, sweet vanilla, a light roast. Very nice, I enjoyed it. Some chocolate and mocha.

Hophead22 (2394) - Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA - FEB 27, 2011
Sample at the brewery. Rating #1. Very dark pour with just a little light shining through. Nice aroma, subtle roast and a little boozy, bourbon and a bit of vanilla. Flavor was dark chocolate, not too bitter, more bourbon and a nice light sweetness. Good stuff. (1490)
