Russian Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels Pours a black color with a very light head that dissipates quickly. The nose is all bourbon and chocolate. The taste starts with a mix of spice with the bourbon and chocolate emerging and lingering through the finish. Saint Arnold house yeast adds a slight creaminess. Slightly sweeter and rounder than BB1 & 3. The light carbonation keeps the beer from becoming cloying, almost giving it a perception of lightness. A pleasant sipping beer with the bourbon both present but not overpowering as you work your way through the glass. Oddly easy to drink for a beer this strong. The warmer this beer gets the better it tastes. We recommend enjoying between 55°F and 60°F.
