Three Floyds Oak Aged Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout

Three Floyds Brewing Company – Oak Aged Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout Vintage 2010 – Poured at Dark Lord Day 2010 in Munster Indiana 13-15% abv. Also known as Barrel Aged Dark Lord.

Appearance: Pours a midnight brown with a tan rim.

Aroma: Vanilla, graham crackers and bourbon.  It was so much more present than any chocolate and burnt roast notes I would get from regular Dark Lord.

Taste: Gram cracker, honey, bourbon, vanilla, dark chocolate, black pepper and spicy hops.

Mouthfeel: Goopy and warm.

Overall: Pretty phenomenal. Think of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, but more ballsy and messy.
