Aroma: “Rich blend of chocolate, coffee, and roast with a dose of malt and vanilla sweetness. Roast comes through a bit sharp, but not harsh. Coffee is bright and acidic, and brings a dark fruit character.”Flavor: “A healthy balance of sweet and roast, each making the other better. Perfect mouthfeel, with a nice creaminess and fudginess to balance out some perceived booziness and heavy roast. A sweet coffee note and the vanilla spice linger and jump out in between the heavy roast flavors, providing a wonderful depth.”Flavor: “A healthy balance of sweet and roast, each making the other better. Perfect mouthfeel, with a nice creaminess and fudginess to balance out some perceived booziness and heavy roast. A sweet coffee note and the vanilla spice linger and jump out in between the heavy roast flavors, providing a wonderful depth.” Overall: “A well-made coffee imperial stout akin to eating dark coffee bean chocolate. Very drinkable.”

Aroma: “Rich chocolate and vanilla dominate the aroma. Touch of corn sweetness from the bourbon and some fusel alcoholic heat.” Flavor: “Bourbon, oak, and vanilla. The malt blends with the barrel to make a kind of maple character. As it warms up, a bit of roast comes out. Moderately high sweetness up front fades into a fairly dry finish.” Overall: “The barrel character is really well done—the underlying beer is a bit sweet, but the spicy bourbon and wood character are well balanced, with great lingering complexity. The chocolate, dark fruit, and boozy finish are well balanced throughout.”

Aroma: “Bursting with apricot, peach, and raspberry esters dominate. There’s also a slight earthiness on the retronasal that rounds things out.” Flavor: “There’s an interesting malty richness to this beer that plays off of the moderate sourness and strong ester profile. The same fruit esters are present on the tastebuds that are on the aroma. The combination of these make the beer somewhat jammy. An interesting rhubarb character appears on the finish.” Overall: “Very interesting fermentation and barrel qualities. The beer is well balanced and presents a nice light fruit character with a complex underlying sourness.”
