Style: Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout Date Brewed: November 6, 2013 Date Racked: December 16, 2013 Date Bottled: December 23, 2014 Beer style in bbl: Russian Imperial Stout Type of Barrel: Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrels Original Gravity: 1.095 Final Gravity: 1.028 Alcohol: 9.1% ABV prior to barreling 11.5% ABV after barreling Bitterness: 29 IBU Description: The base beer for Bishop’s Barrel No. 8 is the Divine Reserve No. 5 Imperial Stout recipe. It pours a brown black with a cafe au lait head. Nose is chocolate bourbon liqueur. Sweet malt and smooth roast are at the start with chocolate and bourbon coming on in the middle. Hop bitter and roast cleans the palate on the finish giving a nice focus to the beer. Overall like biting into a big block of dark chocolate. A little of the alcohol can be felt in the finish but it is surprisingly light given the 11.5% ABV. The warmer this beer gets, the better it tastes. We recommend enjoying between 55°F and 60°F.
