What Our Editors Thought

“Musty oak cellar, hazelnut, and spicy blackberry lead into a staid sip of muted cacao and oak. The aroma’s energy gives way to the surety of the flavor, but the intensity builds with each sip.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Smells like a bottle of vanilla dumped in a batch of brownie batter. Flavor-wise: intense punch of roast malt quickly tempered by caramel and vanilla, leading to a rich, sweet—not cloying—finish. Gradually fades into a soothing, boozy warmth.”

What the Brewers Say

"Extra-long aging in select Bourbon Barrels adds intense flavors and aromas of oak, toasted vanilla, and fine tobacco to the deep-roasted and full-bodied character of our infamous Double Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout."
