Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout (Signature Series)
This beer pours a very dark brown, almost black color. It boasts a thin brown head that fades a little too fast, leaving a decent lacing. This beer has a mellow Bourbon aroma. It smells slightly oaky, with a mild vanilla aroma. It has a mild chocolate aroma as well. Some dark fruit mixes in also. This beer tastes much like it smells. Bourbon, and vanilla. Some oak, and dark fruits. Very mild flavors, but also very complex. Nice. This beer is full bodied. It goes down smooth, leaving a bourbon like aftertaste. It is very thick. It is low in alcohol, suiting the style. This beer may not make the best session beer because of the undoubtedly high alcohol content, but it sure does taste good, and I could drink it all night. Overall: Thanks go to Orbitalr0x for generously sending me this beer. Unlike some other reviews, I dont think the Bourbon aroma is over the top at all. I think it is mellow. I like this one, and am very pleased to have had the opportunity.
