Kulshan Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout 2021
Kulshan Brewing Company
Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout
11.6% ABV | 75 IBU
An enticingly smooth and complex beer, full of intrigue and nuance, this year's Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout is one beautiful beer. Deceptively easy to drink at 11.6% ABV, it boasts notes of cherry, chocolate, vanilla, raisin and toffee, with just enough boozy heat to put some color in your cheeks. A product of patience and skilled blending, this year's vintage was aged in barrels from both Stein Distillery and Westland Distillery, and though it is delicious right now, it also definitely will benefit from being cellared in the bottle for some amount of time.
SEE: Opaque Black, with rich tan head.
SMELL: Sweet cherries, chocolate, vanilla, oak, light whiskey.
TASTE: Smooth dark chocolate, dried cherries, raisin, vanilla, toffee, slight warming alcohol.
