> Stone Imperial Russian Stout Bourbon Barrel Aged 2008

Style:Imperial Stout
Brewer:Stone Brewing Co.
Escondido, CA
Country:United States
Container:Draught
ABV:11.5%
Description:Pours a jet black, a nice nose brings molasses up front, hints of coffee and black currant. The full to medium body is smooth and creamy. There is a touch of dark fruit at the finish. Being aged in Bourbon Barrels gives a caramel, vanilla character that accentuates the sweetness of the malts while adding a ton of complexity to the simple profile of the IRS. The extra alcohol is felt but not in a boozy way; rather a complex brandy-like thin sweetness comes through. 11.5%ABV
