Boars Russian Imperial Stout, Bourbon Barrel

Time has served this beer well. Pouring coffee black with dark brown highlights in the glass supporting a mocha colored head, the flavors and aromas just keep on wafting, turning your head like the perfume or cologne of a past relationship. This barrel aged stout starts with the essence of toffee, butterscotch and cookies adding a boozy warmth. Take a sip and note how the harsh edges of the darkly roasted grains have been polished to a smooth finish. As it warms up, flavors of lightly roasted coffee and cocoa emerge. But wait just a bit longer! Let it sit and then watch red fruit, vanilla, and dried stone fruits emerge. Ever changing, this chameleon of a beer is glorious from start to finish and evolves from the first to the last sip. Show Less
