About This Beer
When Martin House announced today’s massive 2-pack, we knew they weren’t messing around: “We’re gonna show you what Stoutin House has for breakfast, lunch, and dinner… No surprise, it’s STOUTS.”
With gusto, those Texans boiled today’s opulent brew for eight whole days, letting it thicken up for devilishly malty, mouth coating flavors. Then, they laid it down in Texas-sourced whiskey barrels and let it rest for four months, imbuing the brew with caramel and butterscotch flavors.

This beer is good but, not great. The whiskey-barrel taste is mild. Overall, the imperial stout taste is worth finishing.

Overall a decent imperial Stout. Bourbon flavors were there although mild. However overall a decent finish.

a class act from presentation to finish. The nose is very minimal, almost non existent. slight wiffs of the barrel, unlike most ba’s that make you recoil and go “oh god, what did i get myself into”. The flavor is the opposite. Big ol barrel kick on the front with a little bit of saltiness. then it goes into dark chocolate and coffee notes, and finishes with a very nice smokey flavor from the oak char, all the while maintaining a thick and velvety mouth feel. No presence of the soy sauce that comes from botching the barrel aging. This is absolutely a bar setter for what a barrel age stout should strive to be. Big, powerful, Oaky, boozy, but rounded off enough to keep you wanting more. damn happy i got 2 of these cans.

although advertised as thick, it’s actually very thin

chocolatey barrel and almost rum like notes on the nose. high medium to low full body with a classic imperial bitterness. barrel sweetness comes in back palate with a lingering toffee and oak tannins.

barrel aged to perfection

Nice caramel notes with slight dark fruit at the outset. Thick with stout notes.

Not bad. Not great. But good and worth drinking. I won't rush to drink the second can. Not much to loom forward to in my mind.

Medium to full body; mouthfeel is on the thicker side, but not syrupy. Notes of bitter baker’s chocolate, slightly burnt almond skins, and caramel. Balanced finish of roast, whiskey heat, and wood. Overall, a respectable non-adjunct BA stout.
