Hoppin Frog Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S.
From Hoppin’ Frog – Made from our B.O.R.I.S. Imperial Stout, that was rated one of the World’s 50 Best Beers, and won the Gold Medal at the GABF in 2008. BARREL-AGED B.O.R.I.S. has picked up rich characters of vanilla, dark fruit, oak, and spice. It’s unbelievably complex and savory.
Hoppin’ Frog – Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S. Oatmeal-Imperial Stout – 22 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 9.4% abv. From Trade on Ratebeer.com
Appearance: Pours a midnight brown with a fluffy brown head that eventually subsides.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Bourbon, vanilla, graham cracker, burnt sugar, toasted coconut and marshmallow. Not too much wood.
Taste: Tons of bourbony goodness. Roasted malt, coffee, hop spice. The after tastes lends a decent amount of wood flavor
Mouthfeel: Slightly fizzy, not as soft and creamy as most Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts.
Overall: This beer is money. Lots of bourbon notes, but not too sweet for my liking. Very big and balanced.
