Oskar Blues Bourbon Barrel-aged Ten Fidy Notes

This beer is Ten Fidy imperial stout but aged in bourbon whiskey barrels. It is roasty, with a little licorice, rich espresso, leather. It has molasses sweetness and the bourbon is very apparent. The flavors are rich with subtle hints of chocolate. This beery is a little oaky with a touch of caramel.

I had this great beer on draft in Longmont, Colorado at the Oskar Blues Tasty Weasel tap room on November 5, 2011.

HaandBryggeriet Odin’s Tipple Notes

This is not a typical Russian imperial stout. Odin’s Tipple has qualities of leather, tobacco, smokiness, sweet maltiness, and just a touch of chocolate.

HaandBryggeriet is a small brewery located in Drammen, Norway. On their website they state that, “our small brewery is run on an voluntary basis in our spare time.” I had this beer on tap at Church Key in San Francisco, CA on October 20, 2010.
