From the brewer

This groundbreaking export stout is brewed with house-roasted, bourbon barrel-aged coffee. Yup, bourbon barrel-aged coffee. This mind-bending process imbues our coffee with the incredible flavor & aroma of a freshly emptied bourbon barrel, which carries over magnificently into this rich, chewy stout. There's no other beer like this in the world, so consider it a liquid education for your face. For continuing education, bags of this remarkable coffee are often available in our online store.

Who's been drinking this

This was still good, but almost a bit too rich after two very good beers. And since it had a pretty similar profile to the Matchless, this one gets knocked down a peg.
Very smooth, lightly chocolatey beer with a somewhat savory, nutty roast finish. Medium thick body and finishes only slightly bitter. Rivals the best peanut or hazelnut stouts without being overtly nutty. For a first taste from this brewery, I'm impressed. This is very, very good.
