Clown Shoes A Fistful of the Unidragon Russian Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels
12.5 % ABV. 55 IBU. Clown Shoes Brewing, Boston, MA.
Solid ebony, absolute opacity, slim brown head resting above.
in the nose: bright fruits, cherries, dates, etc., large cocoa component, hints of coffee, slice of cherry. slight vanilla, lots going on...
In the mouth: Thick. Rich. Viscous. Delicious. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Bourbon barrel effects cover over all. Cheries, vanilla, oak, molasses, and more. Big and rich and deep and full. Large bitterness, overwhelming chocolate. bigness upon bigness. waa, waaa, waa....(that's the Ennio Morriconne theme music playing us out, as if you didn't know)...
Sweet boubon barrel aged stout that packs quite a punch! Notes of chocolate and carmel surface behind a decidedly bourbon backbone. It even has a bit of the burn you would expect from taking a shot. Take it easy on this one! It's delicious but it'll knock you on your bottom!
