Fortunate is he, who in the name of brewing and good beer, shepherds the weak through the valley of macrobrews. For he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the finder of lost taste buds. Stout aged in Whiskey barrels.

Holy Ninkasi, kinger, this one was the coup d'etat. This beer, of all of the new beers I tried this past weekend, was my absolute favorite. Big mahogany black pour, creamy tan head, big lacing. HUGE Crown Royal aroma perfectly blended with a massive Impy Stout - how perfect is that? Roasted malts, chocolates, some vanilla, a true olfactory delight. Taste is also fantastic: great blend of whiskey and stout - roasted malts, vanilla and cocoa, very slight molasses, more Crown Royal. An absolutely terrific beer. Thank you again Cory for this masterpiece.

Unlike the normal BA BORIS, this Royale really seems to showcase the Whiskey in a very nice, clear way. Chock full of vanilla, mild whiskey, chocolate and more chocolate it opens up really nice throughout the enjoyment of the bottle. Hearty aroma and a slinky smooth mouth feel. Medium to heavy bodied, sweet and satisfying. Strong barrel influence and a soft push in the aftertaste. Normally a bottle of this standard needs to be shared as a glassful is typically enough, but the Royale is best enjoyed solely over a slow sipping evening. Very nice indeed.
