Of all the barrel aged stouts, I think this one is the strongest I鈥檝e tasted. Amundsen are absolute ninjas when it comes to hiding the alcohol behind complex levels of flavour. Their imperial stouts are legendary for this. But the gloves are most certainly off with this one! Not so much ninja, more like a full on Mongol assault!
The flavours are exceptional, deep, layered, indulgent, and very very moreish. But don鈥檛 get too comfortable, because this is a place where brain cells come to die. A once-a-year-beer for sure, but let鈥檚 enjoy it for being just that. Over flavoured, over boozy, and waaay over the top.
What鈥檚 not to love about that? It is your birthday after all, right?
