Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse Demons Run Barrel Select - Amburana

What the brewers say

“Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout conditioned on amburana wood chips.”

What our panel thought

“Big aroma with chocolate pecan pie and sandalwood candles mixed with bourbon. Gooey, clover honey mixed with fudge, chamomile, eau de vie, which is a sentence I never thought I would write. Soft, seductive, subtle flavors play against wood spiciness.”

What our editors thought

“Spicy cinnamon with a sweet nutty note—the amburana wood provides expressive spice notes. Spice continues in the sip, with tannic wood notes spiking over the sweeter vanilla and nutty body.”
