About This Beer

The GABF-winning brewers at pFriem crafted Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout with six different specialty malts and Chinook Hops for a decadent and complex brew. They added lactose for a silky smooth, full body. And, after a ten month beauty rest in bourbon barrels, the brew emerged even more captivating than before.

Tasting Notes

Perfumed with aromas of spice and oak, the toasty malt takes on a sweetly maple-like fragrance. Each sip laughs with ripples of chocolate mousse and roasted cherries, intriguing you with winks of hazelnut, leather, and tobacco in the finish.

pFriem knows their way around a barrel and this beer is no different. Soft, velvety chocolate notes swirled in awesome.

Bourbon shines through on this release. Mouthfeel is decent, finishes with a touch of cherry char from the barrels. Good stuff 👍🏻

great flavor. the thin mouth feel was kind of off-putting, but also increased the drinkability
