Imperial Stout 14.9 º

3 Sons Brewing Co.

This Imperial Stout offers a masterclass in complexity, defined by its extensive maturation in ten-year-old Henry McKenna bourbon barrels and a global infusion of vanilla beans from regions including Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Vanuatu. The sensory profile is dominated by a multifaceted vanilla character ranging from floral and spicy to rich marshmallow, seamlessly integrated with the charred oak and caramel notes of the Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Beneath the adjuncts lies a robust base of bittersweet chocolate and espresso-like roast. Viscous and velvety, it delivers a lingering, warming finish where dark fruit esters and wood tannins provide a sophisticated balance to the decadent sweetness.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque. A modest, dense dark tan head shows moderate retention, leaving oily legs and a thick coating on the glass that reflects its high viscosity and alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity and deeply layered. A massive bouquet of vanilla—offering notes of marshmallow, wood spice, and floral perfume—intertwines with rich bourbon, charred oak, and dark chocolate. Supporting aromas of black cherry, prune, and espresso emerge as the beer warms, with a clean but noticeable alcohol presence.

Taste. The initial impression is an explosion of multi-origin vanilla and sweet bourbon. Deep malt flavors of bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and roasted coffee provide a firm backbone. Mid-palate reveals complex barrel notes of toasted oak and caramel, while esters suggest dark raisins and figs. The bitterness is moderate but sufficient to balance the residual sweetness. The finish is long and luxurious, featuring lingering vanilla, roast, and a smooth, vinous warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, syrupy, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the beer's lusciousness. A prominent, smooth alcohol warmth is felt in the throat, though it remains well-integrated and free of harshness.
