The Bruery Briar Patch Smash
Imperial Stout 13.4 º
This decadent Imperial Stout pours with the weight of a cocktail, inspired by a blackberry bourbon smash. Dual aging in bourbon and blackberry wine barrels imparts a complex layer of charred oak, spirituous warmth, and vinous depth. The sensory experience is anchored by rich dark chocolate and espresso malt notes, layered with the lush, jammy sweetness of blackberries and the creamy aromatic lift of vanilla beans. A bright, unexpected flash of lemon provides a citrusy counterpoint to the beer's immense density, while the high alcohol content offers a slow, velvety warmth that lingers alongside a slightly tart, fruity finish.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque. It supports a dense, dark tan head with moderate retention and leaves thick, viscous legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity with deep roasted grains, bittersweet chocolate, and espresso. Prominent bourbon notes of oak and caramel meld with vinous dark fruit and jammy blackberries. A subtle citrus zest from lemon provides a bright lift against rich vanilla beans and noticeable alcohol.
Taste. Intense dark roasted malt and cocoa flavors lead into a mid-palate dominated by jammy blackberry. Creamy vanilla and a hint of tart lemon acidity balance the sweetness. Bourbon barrel character provides wood tannins and spirituous depth. Bitterness is moderate, though the roast and fruit acidity provide the primary balance. The finish is long and complex, with lingering vinous tartness and smooth warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present and well-integrated given the high gravity.
