Absomphe Report post Posted February 12, 2011 2011 Full Sail Black Gold Imperial Stout. Rich chocolate and bourbon aroma, emanating from a pitch black velvety body. The flavor grew more complex with each sip, slowly revealing layers of bourbon, vanilla, oak, marzipan, allspice, figs, dates, and rum raisin. Very sweet, and yet never cloying thanks to a somewhat gingery-like dryish finish that compels the drinker to savor another hard taste of this nectar. This year's vintage is a blend of Full Sail's regular Imperial Stout aged in Schenley 18 and 20 year bourbon barrels. It's very comparable to the 2009 release, except it's jumped from 10.5% to 11.4%, and there's been a commensurate deepening of the flavors without the addition of excessive alcohol burn. I'm enjoying this one nearly on a par with this years's Abyss, which really says a lot.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluewolf Pete Report post Posted February 12, 2011 This year's Abyss is wonderful .... I'm still holding onto a couple of bottles. As for Sam Adams, I will never buy their products, and it has nothing to do with quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baubel Report post Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) For you, I really got into those when the weather got cold. I was thinking about having one after my glass of absinthe.

Absomphe Report post Posted February 14, 2011 An early glass of the Black Gold. Despite the very heavy bourbon flavor, when it combines with the roast, it really reminds me more of Calvados. If George Gale & Co. made a Prize Old Ale Dark, it would probably taste a lot like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
