Odin DBRD Tasting: Silver City Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

Logs for this tasting

Seems fairly thin for an imperial stout but solid roasted bitterness.
Really like this one! Has a very pleasing mix of sweetness and roastiness. Ends on a touch of sourness. The booziness is just right. Shows some molasses, oak and roasted flavors.
A very nicely balanced bourbon barrel stout. Noticeably boozy on the nose, it starts dry with some toffee notes, then quickly goes unexpectedly tangy for a moment before finishing on a velvety bourbon oak sheen. I was so glad the flavor was nowhere near as raw as the smell.
