beer_name: InFamous - Bourbon Barrel Aged
text: Consumed on tap at the 2009 Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest on 12/04/2009. This was listed on the VIP list as a Chocolate Imperial Stout aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels and brewed by Pizza Port San Clemente. I see no mention of the regular Infamous being barrel aged so this needs its own entry. The beer is black with a light brown head. The aroma is a bourbon chocolate desert. Chocolate cookies, chocolate cake, truffles...need I go on? Despite the rich desert items I've used as descriptors, the decadence doesn't reach desert beer category. The chocolate is balanced nicely by the bourbon. Alcohol is completely masked in the nose. The flavor is boozy dark chocolate cookies with brown sugar. Booze is at a moderate level, and the bourbon is prominent. Bourbon and chocolate linger on the palate in the finish. Delicious stuff.
