Hammerheart Barrel Aged Sköll och Hat Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Stout

Hammerheart Barrel Aged Sköll och Hat Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Stout.

10.8 % ABV, Hammerheart Brewing, Lino Lakes, MN. 


Solid blackness, utterly impenetrable, huge, rich, tan head, holding down the fort, and staying in for the long haul. 

In the nose: Cocoa. Vanilla. Bourbon. Dark fruit. Whoa. All the goodies are here. 

In the mouth: Deep, dark, delicious. Ridiculously rich, tasty, delightful, with bourbon barrels looming above. Full bodied, massively malty, overdose of chocolate, with just enough barrel. Thick, rich, and huge. Now the ABV comes roaring in and pounds on the walls. Boom, boom, boom, boom. 

Bourbon barrel aged chocolate stout. This beer is a bourbon barrel aged version of mildly smoked chocolate stout, Sköll ohh Hati, rich in malt character, yet dry enough to warrant a second can. 

Ooops, I only had the one. That would be one heck of a night, though.
