This bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout spent months in 23-year-old Elijah Craig barrels with vanilla, wild Thai bananas, &amp; cacao. The results are thunderous.<\/p>\n<p>Jet black liquid fills the glass, with only a small deep-brown head forming. It bubbles away quickly, with no sign at all that it once existed, other than a little bit of oily residue on the walls of the glass.<\/p>\n<p>Bourbon and sweet banana dance on the nose, sweetness in one offsetting the other. Smooth chocolate from the cacao and vanilla is a wonderful pair too. There\u2019s lovely oak with deep spices and a dab of leather. The bourbon banana is a brilliant pair.<\/p>\n<p>Thick, rich malt fills the entire mouth. Cacao and milk chocolate, light coffee, and caramel cream. Bright banana comes with more sweetness than you get in your grocery store offering. That\u2019s your wild Thai banana. Creamy vanilla bean adds to it, balancing the sweet flavors with a bit of dryness, only to have the 23-year-old Elijah Craig bourbon amp that up again. 13% ABV is clear in the body but imparts no heat or burn to be found. Just beautiful bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout, sip after sip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snarf Snarf<\/h2>\n<p>Big and brilliant, this beer is a shining blade that cuts through huge malt and bourbon with so many other intermingled flavors that work so well. Sweet and flavorful then drying out wonderfully. These ThunderCats were on to something.<\/p>\n<p>While this is a member-only brew in bottles, you might get very lucky and find it <a href=\"https:\/\/barreltheory.com\">on tap at Barrel Theory<\/a> on rare occasions. If you do, be sure to enjoy a glass or two. Thunder, thunder, ThunderCats!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thunder, thunder, ThunderCats Ho!
