Jacob Spears, our 6th Great Grand Uncle, is credited as the first distiller to label his whiskey "Bourbon." He built his distillery in Bourbon County, Kentucky in 1790 - 203 years before began brewing. While obviously a bit too late to produce Uncle Jacob’s wash, we’ve instead created something far more complex. In his honor, we present this robust, silky smooth, full-bodied and altogether extremely American rendition of an Imperial Stout aged for 6 months in the very finest bourbon barrels. This explains a lot about our penchant for big brews! It’s in our blood!

Brewed with Rocky Mountain Water, Malter Barley, Flaked Oats, Hops and Yeast.

Appearance:
Very, very deep black/brown. Not quite motor oil-ish like I was expecting like Parabola or something along those lines
Aroma:
Sweet and very boozy. Strong alcohol aroma
Flavor:
Strong of booze in the begining. Tabaco and whisky like. The eqivalent of taking an old man who's been drinking and smoking cigars, and bottling him up
Mouthfeel:
Kinda heavy, and tingles on the tounge because of how potent it is
Overall Impression:
Was very happy with it. I am fond of almost anything bourbon or whiskey barrel agred. Was not dissapointed with the beer itself. My only complaint is how much the damn thing was for a 12oz beer. But did the trick that a 6pack of carbonated water/beer (bud light, coors light, and all the 55, 64 calorie beers) would do for you.

Was similar to Leapin Frog's whisky barrel aged B.O.R.I.S. but much higher in alchol. Also similar to Firestone and Walker Parabola

"The eqivalent of taking an old man who's been drinking and smoking cigars, and bottling him up" - intersting description. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the review.
