A Note on This Beer

I don’t say this lightly: whether you’re a dark beer aficionado or just someone who enjoys tasting the finer things, you owe it to yourself to grab a bottle of today’s Bourbon Paradise. 

That’s because this Barrel Aged Imperial Stout HAS A PERFECT 100 SCORE ON BEERADVOCATE. It’s ranked among the Top 30 Imperial Stouts on the planet! 

Prairie Artisan Ales masterfully aged this opaque beauty with doses of real coconut and vanilla. At 13.7% ABV, it’s like boozy silk in a bottle. Each sip delights the palate with nuances of German chocolate cake and dollops of vanilla whipped cream.

The internet agrees — after scouring all the beer corners and hundreds of reviews, I only counted a couple of ratings that dipped below 4.0. The vast majority place it far above.

If you’re scratching your head, then it’s time for me to review what beer ratings actually mean. See, just about anything that has an 80+ on BeerAdvocate (or above a 3 on a 5-star system) is a good beer. A beer that hits 90+ (or a 4) ranges from superb to excellent. A beer that hits a perfect score is downright divine!

That’s why, with its sky-high ratings, it only makes sense that craft drinkers are crazy for Bourbon Paradise. It also means that someone would have to be even crazier to pass up a taste.

I get it but not for me. Too thick and boozy, I think 3 sips is enough for me to get the flavor and move on. If you are in to this type of beer I’m sure you will love it, strong chocolate flavor with the bourbon

Aroma hits you hard with sweet bourbon and lush vanilla beans. Flavor is bourbon, vanilla, and toasted coconut without being overly sweet. Great beer to savor for yourself of share with others.

It’s Prairie, what else need to be said? This stout is solid and what I’ve come to expect from this brewery. Well crafted with a nice viscous body. Nose is vanilla malt and bourbon. Mouthfeel is creamy with the coconut and vanilla blending in nicely with the oak bourbon barrel. Perfect to enjoy by the fire with your favorite Robusto! This is in my top 10 for sure! Thank you Tavour!

The boozy flavor is apparent up front. Dark notes of chocolate quickly follow. Definitely a slow sipper.

The 2020 bottle of bourbon paradise wasn’t paradise but was definitely boozy and bourbon. Look: black with small head and no lacing. Smell: bourbon up front, with some hints of chocolate (more as it warms), trailing vanilla but no coconut. Taste: sweet, booze and bourbon up front. Bren says the ethanol mountain is almost too steep to climb to get to the backend flavors on this one, but as we let it warm, we got bourbon in the middle, hints of chocolate and trailing notes of vanilla. If we REAALLLLLLy reach we get coconut. Feel: sweet, thick, full mouthfeel. Let it hang around and swirl it in your mouth, breathe in through the nose and there is a light tickle of carbonation. No trail end drying which is interesting given the high ABV. I guess if you like boozy flavor and bourbon this would be a good beer for you. Being dark, stouty fans we were hoping for Prairie to hide the booze a bit, but alas, they got us again with a high ABV (tasting and by volume)... if you like high ABV Prairie beers (as they have a tendency to do) this beer is good... if you want the chocolate, vanilla and coconut to smack you in the face in a stouty way, stay away because the ABV will beat you back with a whip. Cheers!

Yes, boozy, but so much of all flavors are present. I liked that you had to be looking for the coconut with other flavors bold, but it was so absolutely positively there. Along with vanilla and chocolate. But bourbon, sweet bourbon, is foremost—it’s in the name. And this beer frames that bourbon so well. Truly excellent. Only wish I had ordered multiple bottles to age!
