Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout (2020)

Ryan

Not nearly the same as 2019 fresh.

John Redner

Pretty good. I like the regular founder imperial stout, and the barrel aging on this one takes it up a notch. Quite boozy with chocolate as the main adjunct.

Don’t serve this too cold! Much better after it warmed up a bit.

Tastes like a very thick roasted coffee

Fln. Thanks Ron S.

Ron Schaeff

Slightly bitter, not much barrel, just decent

Julian

Good flavor, though not as strong as expected. Sweet with a touch of bitter. Not as thick as most Imperial Russian Stouts.

Very boozy with a bit of bitterness at the end. Interested to see what a year or two of aging will do for this.

Umm a gusher??? Buyers beware.... luckily I was in the basement. Beer is roasty like the base no barrel and not as good as the mothership release and lower marks for the cleanup.

Doug Bulthuis

It’s solid, but not a lot of barrel here.

Cory Speece

Bottle erupted, fun times.

Kept seeing it but didn’t think it could compare with KBS. Finally bought one and am pleasantly surprised. It’s robust with fairly strong coffee notes and some dark fruit. I’m hoping it will mellow with time. Gotta buy a few more for the cellar.

Rob Kitchen

Solid stout. Interested in seeing what this becomes in a couple years.

I’m not sure what’s going on at Founders. 3rd gusher in 6 months.

Wanted to try the place out. May have to try again when it’s warmer.

Smooth

Mike

A roasty stout with a mild barrel essence

Dre Word

This isn’t nearly as good as the recent mothership release. Still a great RIS, but the barrel character is too mild here.

Up to snuff! Good stuff.

So many choices

John Redner

Third bottle and no gushers yet 🙏🏼. This is one of the best values in BA stouts there is. Primarily chocolate, roasty, barrel & booze. One of my favorite Founders bottles.

Paired well with steak dinner

Mark Mallia

Did someone melt a fudgesicle and add some coffee, because that would be close.

Jaime

Justin Rak

Has gotten boozier with age, wish I had bought some more.

FLN. FIS is always a little roasty for my preference. Still a well made beer. Jeremiah I figured this was an appropriate location to consume...

Chocolate and coffee on the nose. Chocolate and coffee taste and a combination of smooth and boozy
