Description:
This is an Imperial Stout that is Brewed to great strength and complexity. We then gently age that beer in Elaigh Craig 13 1/2 year old Bourbon Barrels for 1 yr. and then primed and bottled to bottle condition for continued aging and celler life. Black Magick should be able to be aged up to about 5 years, to heighten the complexity and smooth nature of this beer. This beer should be opened to breath, pour into snifter and enjoy at 55-60 F.
This is a truly Barrel aged ale and is not to have a large carbonation. We bottle condition it to achieve cask like characteristics.

Appearance - 5.0
Pours black as night and looks pretty thick. The beer is completely opaque. It produces a 1/4" of dark tan head that fades away pretty quickly, not bad considering the high abv.
Aroma - 4.5
The aroma is great. Bourbon really stands out along with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and roasted malts.
Mouthfeel - 5.0
Full in body, creamy and smooth. A little bit of syrup, but not what I expected for such a big beer.
Taste - 4.5
The barrel character is very prominent in the beer. I get oak flavors first followed by bourbon. There are then light notes of vanilla and some stronger chocolate flavors. Very nicely done. Alcohol is only slightly detectable, they did a good job hiding it.
Overall - 4.5
This beer has just the right amount of barrel character and they hide the booziness well. This is a very good beer, and I would willingly seek out more.
