We lined 4 Imperial Stouts we thought were top notch yet mostly easily accessible.
After lining them up, we had our lovely assistant pour them while Mike and I twiddled our thumbs in the other room.
The order of the stouts was then written down and sealed in an envelope. Were your hosts able to figure out which beer was what or did they brutally fail? You’ll have to watch to find out!

I’m thinking Mike regrets doing this. He make’s some great faces throughout this review! Let’s just say the score is Shaun’s…
Style: Imperial Stout with Coffee
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Goblets
Notes: Speedway Stout’s ominous, pitch-black appearance has become a hallmark of this modern-day classic. Chocolate and roasted malts dominate the flavor, supported by notes of dark fruit, toffee, and caramel. A healthy dose of locally-roasted coffee from Ryan Bros. Coffee, Inc. added to each batch brings out the beer’s dark chocolate flavors and enhances its drinkability. (12%)
Rating: 4.5/5
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%)
Rating: 4.5/5

It’s a Nerdsense Drinks Blind Versus Battle! We’ve got one of the most well known in the left corner, Founders KBS! In the right corner we have a true contender to throne, Weyerbacher SMS!
You may be asking yourself, “But Shaun, Mike hate’s stouts with coffee, he won’t like that shit”. You are correct! This is why we have our good friend Corey guesting with me!
Mike was kind enough to pour these for us so we can go in blind!
Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout
Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Coffee

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Coffee and Chocolate
Container: 12oz Bottle
Glassware: 4oz snifters
Notes: What we’ve got here is an imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year to make sure wonderful bourbon undertones come through in the finish. Makes your taste buds squeal with delight. (11.8%)
