Imperial stout brewed with spices and aged in bourbon barrels
Crux Fermentation Project, Bend, Oregon
12oz bottle, 11.5% abv
Requires a stout (no pun intended) corkscrew to remove the cork under the traditional bottle cap. After opening, pours thick and black (heyo!) With a thin dark tan head that dissipates quickly.
Aroma is spicy with ginger and molasses, a hint of bourbon and some woody barrel hints.
Flavor is quite similar to the aroma, delightfully spicy and malty, with complex flavors that mingle pleasantly.
Mouthfeel is moderately thick and warming but in no way overpoweringly rich.
Finishes amazingly crisp and clean.
Overall a really nice big barrel aged stout by some people who know what they're doing.
