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.

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.
