Impermanence

Imperanence, Tree House Brewing Company, Charlton, MA
(Imperial Stout, Rated 98)

Imperial milk stout pours a deep, chocolaty brown. Aromas of rich coffee, milk chocolate, and maple. Taste is creamy, milk chocolate, mocha espresso, and cacao all dancing together with lingering maple syrup sweetness. Dense viscosity and rich, silky smooth mouthfeel. 9% abv. Absolutely delightful!

The Jones Dog (12 Year Elijah Craig Barrel Aged)

The Jones Dog, Pipeworks Brewing Company, Chicago, IL
(Imperial Stout, Rated 98)

Imperial Milk Stout aged in 12 year Elijah Craig Bourbon Barrels. Pours pitch black with a thin mocha head. Aromas of melted milk chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, and sweet bourbon. Decadent flavors of sweet, smooth bourbon, melted fudge, vanilla sweetness, cacao.  Velvety smooth mouthfeel and full-bodied. 13% abv. My all-time favorite Pipeworks beer to date!  Outstanding!
