An imperial stout aged in Bourbon barrels, this beer is not short on character. A thick, black pour with a small head promises intensity, and the nose delivers just that, with rich, boozy aromas of chocolate liqueur, maple wood, brown butter, dried figs, dates and a touch of resiny pine. Big and softly carbonated, with serious heft to the roasted malt, caramel sauce, cigar box and vanilla ice cream flavors and a slight slick feel to the finish. The alcohol is noticeable, but through a pleasant warming sensation that remains on the finish. An idea cellaring beer that should evolve well through 2018.
