Brewers Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout


Brewers Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout, Central Waters Brewing Co., Amherst, WI 
(Imperial Stout, Rated 99)

Imperial stouts can be pretty potent brews as they are, but then age that stout in oak bourbon barrels and it takes it to a whole new level. At 9.5% abv, this limited release from another one of Wisconsin's fine craft breweries is a great drinker. The aroma of bourbon is apparent on the pour. The taste is of malty, toffee goodness with that little warm, bourbon burn as you swallow. Outstanding!
