Able Big Blk Wlf Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout

Able Seedhouse + Brewery Big Blk Wlf Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout. 9.8% ABV. Able Brewery + Seedhouse, Minneapolis, MN.

Solid blackness, utterly opaque, slim brown ring of foam.

In the nose: Charcoal, ash, molasses. Massive malt, huge chocolate, plentiful espresso. Whopping whiskey, vanilla, marshmallow. Warming, alcoholic. Intense.

In the mouth: Vast presence on the palate, impressive mark on the mouthfeel. Richness in abundance. All the chocolate malts, all the coffee tones. Full body, long finish.

Notes trail off there, but I think I hit the essence of it. Saved this for about seven months since purchase, but seems to be just right. I enjoyed this all the way down.

This was purchased at the brewery back in January. I'm pretty sure it's all gone. Sorry about that.

Big Blk Wolf barrel aged in Wild Turkey barrels for a year.
