Common descriptors are
A full bodied, single barrel bourbon aged imperial stout with rich flavors and aromas of espresso, dark chocoloate, and roasted malt. Aged for 6 months inside charred Kentucky white oak bourbon barrels with vanilla to enhance the natural vanilla and caramelized sugar flavors of the wood. Cocoa nibs infuse the beer with bittersweet chocolate falvors, and a slick, velvety mouthfeel. One sip and you’ll agree, sometimes...Justice is black and white.
