Common descriptors are
This giant imperial rye stout is the result of our collaboration with the Danish brewers from ToØl. In true Danish style, it is austere and utterly humorless. Deep in the heart of its double mash lies a cornucopia of dark, flavorful malts. The discerning palate will detect chocolate, rye, biscuit, and faint peat notes in each sip. The raw power of Magnum and Chinook hops were used to battle this beer into a variety of different woods. Most of the batch aged in used bourbon barrels, but some of it saw scotch barrels, port barrels, ash, hickory, red oak, white oak, cherrywood, and more. Check your keg for what wooded nectar is in your glass. ABV: 11.0% IBU: 85.0 OG: 25.0P
