Commercial Description:
This is an incredibly intriguing ale is made by aging our Old Heathen Imperial Stout in oak barrels that were used for making fine Kentucky bourbon! The result is an extraordinary, dark, and mysterious stout whose very essence has been enhanced. The aroma is filled with vanilla, cocoa, and roasted coffee beans. This silky-smooth brew has notes of oak, whiskey, roasted barley and vanilla that meld together on the tongue to create an incredible sensation. Heresy is released in February.

Bomber as pictured. Nice dark brown pour with tan head. Aroma was malt and wood. Flavor was bitter chocolate, alcohol, malt and bitter hops. Flavor grew sweeter as it warmed. Once it warmed, flavors became more distinguishable. However, this imperial lacks boldness in character in the form of that would come from aging the fruits and spices more. All in all this was enjoyable and I would drink it again.

Pours dark brown with a healthy amount of carbonation and a rapidly dissipating brown head. Smells of bourbon, oak, sherry, cherries, dark malt and pepper. Tastes boozy with some tartness. As the beer warms, flavors of chocolate, spices and tealike hops emerge. Some mocha and bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is tarte and full.

Pours a deep black color with a small head. Aroma of wood,caramel and vanilla with some smoke and chocolate in the background. Taste is a mix of oak barrel, vanilla some coffee and a hints of hops. Finish is smooth and a little bitter. An awesome imperial stout.

Black velvety look with mild head, malty alcoholic nose aroma, bubbly palate, can occasionally taste the oak barrels but would have preferred more, leave a hoppy feel on the sides of the tongue

Not a very impressive Impy. I have mixed feelings on oak aging. If it overpowers the taste its bad. This is bad. The oak is too overpowering and pushes the other tastes back. There are some roasted malt and chocolate notes as well as some vanilla, but the oakness won’t let them shine.

Very strong alcoholic taste, brandy, cognac and the like. Deep dark black colour. Thick lacing head. Tastes very smooth, but the alcohol taste is too overpowering.

Pours a deep dark black with a rich tan head. The aroma has oak, vanilla, whiskey, dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor is smooth with a complex richness of vanilla, chocolate, bourbon, and dark fruit, accompanied by a touch of roastedness at the finish.

Pours pitch black. The foam head is a real dark tan. The smell and everything else is really good. The flavor is smooth. The drinkability is awesome. Just finished the first cup, and adjusted the drinkability to 4.5. :banned:
