About This Beer

For months, the brewers meticulously sampled Bourbon Barrel Aged Stouts in their cellar. They took the very best barrels and set them aside to create Balance Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout: Turkish Coffee. After carefully blending the brews, they added a thoughtful dose of fine Turkish coffee. As the name suggests, the brewers sought to elevate and accentuate nuances whiskey-caramel and oak from the barrels, giving the base beer plenty of room to shine through the roasty coffee.

Tasting Notes

Finely ground Turkish coffee works in harmony with chocolately malts, amplifying oaky vanilla from the barrels, while hints of berry and cardamom spice uplift notes of date and plum. Every aspect of the beer makes every other aspect even better!

There’s a really off putting, almost chemical-tasting note upon the first sip. The coffee flavor quickly follow and is nice, but that first note kinda kills it.

This beer has a coffee chocolate character coated with a dominant spice (cardamom). The cardamom is consistent throughout the profile coating the Turkish coffee. The beer has a smooth light finish.

Tavour sent this instead of The Lovers from Hidden Springs… an hour away from us. 😂 What a freakin win. This is so good, so strong, SO dark — just unique and spiced and deep and rich and beautiful.

Not a big fan of coffee stouts, but the other flavors balance the coffee taste so well, that I actually appreciated the coffee taste! Well worth a try if you prefer sweeter stouts.
