13.5% BA Imperial Stout
Barrel aged mint chocolate imperial stout. It pours dark and thick, giving off a huge chocolatey aroma with just a hint of peppermint. A low level of carbonation and a smooth, velvety body boosts this chocolate experience in a beer glass. The blend of sherry, bourbon and port barrels used during the barrel aging of this beer manage to both complement and give balance to the sweetness of this imperial stout.
