A Note on This Beer

Few things are more heartwarming (and belly-warming) than sharing stories around a campfire alongside smooth sips of an expertly crafted Bourbon barrel-aged Stout.

Especially when it’s pFriem’s Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout — The Beer Connoisseur named it the #4 Wood-Aged Beer in the World!

pFriem Family Brewers aged this award-winning Dark Beer for 12 months in highly regarded Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels, imbuing the liquid with oaky, vanilla caramel goodness.

Each sip is like a silky spoonful of cherry chocolate mousse, chased with a bite of red velvet cake. Woody char complexity and the boozy ABV help round out the tender sweetness while keeping the experience buzzingly enticing.

That’s to be expected from one of the most awarded breweries in the Pacific Northwest. pFriem’s halls are positively decked with Gold medals won at world-class beer competitions, from the Brussels Beer Challenge to the Great American Beer Festival, to the Best of Craft Beer Awards.

The Beer Connoisseur even crowns them as The Best Brewery in the World!

Rated 4.21 on Tavour; 94/100 on The Beer Connoisseur; 93/100 on BeerAdvocate

Cherries and bourbon barrel are dominant on the nose. Cherries also dominant the taste. Sweetness is a little much. Smooth rather than boozy. Meh.

Smooth with powerful oaky & chocolate notes with the first sip. Cherry & chocolate dominate the nose. Silky mouthful and smooth finish.

The nose is full of coco and a light amount of booze. You can taste a faint amount of cherries and a good smooth coco finish. The bourbon is light. I am surprised the ABV is so high. You can't taste it at all. You could drink a number of these given how smooth and light it is. All in all this is a good barrel aged stout.

The scale doesn’t go high enough for this excellent stout. It hides the high abv extremely well. So smooth.

This was more subtle than I expected but still really enjoyable! The cherries are super subtle and add just the right amount of sweetness that a dark coco beer deserves, especially during this Yule time season! I would definitely gift this to another fellow beer lover!
