Common descriptors are
Our Imperial Stout is a decadent ode to the art of brewing. Malted & roasted barley come together with a heaping dose of crystal and chocolate malts to form the jet black body. Columbus hops form the bitter backbone and a slow fermentation leads to a smooth finish. The beer is then aged for 6 months plus in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels. The barrel aging adds in a complexity of brown sugar and vanilla notes along with a slight interplay of oxygen that would be impossible to achieve without this expensive and time consuming process. The result is a thick, rich Stout that should be served at 14 C. in a brandy glass with a side of your favourite dark chocolate. Unfiltered. Label indicates Batch 2.
