I waxed lyrical about Elusive Brewing yesterday, so I'll get right down to the beer. Today it's the barrel aged version of Elusive's imperial stout, The Wasteland, aged in bourbon barrels.
It pours as dark as the night sky, with a minimal off-white head. The aroma and the taste is all bourbon, the barrel aging obviously having a profound effect on this beer. It's rich, boozy and warming with plenty of roasty and toasty notes resting underneath the duvet of bourbon.
Truly a deliciously decadent beer.
