Nerdsense Drinks – #506 Stone Xocoveza Charred (2015 Vintage)

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 500ml Bottle
Notes: Time spent in bourbon barrels gave an already complex beer even more complexity and flavor intensity, layering additional caramel-like and vanilla flavors on top of those already present. Aromas of rich coffee and dark chocolate are followed by nutmeg and cinnamon; a lush, heavy mouthfeel laden with charred oak and toffee engulfs the palate on the first sip. (10%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #164 Oskar Blues Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy

We’ve reviewed a vertical of Ten Fidy, Ten Fidy by itself, Java Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy and Rum Barrel Aged Ten Fidy. Now, it’s time for just plain ole Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy…it’s actually not plain at all…it’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Ten Fidy for christ sakes!

 

Style: Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 19.2oz stove top can
Glassware: Treehouse Teku’s
Notes: Aged through four seasons and from a blend of the top Bourbons around, this Ten Fidy has morphed into a monster of cranked up flavor. Espresso, burnt sugar, rich chocolate, caramel notes are now driving alongside the vanilla, oak, bourbon from the barrel and been smoothed out during maturation. (12.9%)
