DRAFT REVIEW: Black Gold Bourbon Imperial Stout
RATING
94

Warm bourbon scents awaken the nose for a big waft of vanilla and coconut tinged by dark roasted malts. Light woody tannins pepper rich dark chocolate and vanilla notes that run over a bed of roasted malts. Throughout the swallow, bourbon quietly weaves through the foundation, but never turns hot. Coconut fuses with dark chocolate in the back, and lasts on the tongue long into the finish. This bourbonbarrel-aged brew packs huge flavor and a welcome soft, booze bite.
