The taste is rich and smooth, with flavors of chocolate, coffee, cherry, and cola on a silky smooth full body. The finish is long and moderately bitter, featuring notes of dark chocolate, black coffee, smoke, bourbon barrel, and vanilla. Overall, this is very intense base stout this year, seems boozier in smell and flavor but I can&#8217;t place specific flavors other than the wood in the finish; it has a tiny bit of throat burn as well. I can&#8217;t wait to taste this one again in 5 years after it mellows out!<\/p>\n<p>Bottled on: 10\/6\/25<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6742,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[240],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-6740","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-stout-barrel-aged-imperial-double"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Two-Row, Black, Caramel, Chocolate, Munich 10 and Roasted Barley","hops":"Millenium\/Alchemy","additions":"&quot;aged in a blend of freshly emptied barrels from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses, and Wild Turkey.
