Great Notion Brewing Bourbon Barrel Aged Jumbo
What the brewers say
“Imperial stout aged in a Widow Jane bourbon barrel with marshmallows, vanilla beans, pecans.”
What our panel thought
“Pecan nuttiness and vanilla blend with a healthy dose of booze in the nose. The flavor is balanced with a quite sweet vanilla note shining out over milk chocolate, pecan, caramel, almond. Bold boozy finish.”
What our editors thought
“Peeps-candy marshmallow intensity in the nose, with subtle nutty and boozy barrel notes underneath. The sip embraces the full candy-bar spectrum (nougat, nuts, marshmallow, caramel, coconut) with a sweet intensity that requires small sips.”
