The Brew Works Barrel Aged Insidious Imperial Stout

With the announcement of a Bourbon Barrel Aged Insidious, I decided that trip to The Brew Works in Bethlehem was in order. The beer pours a black color with thin filmy tan head. The aroma consists of chocolate with oak and Bourbon. The taste is lively and bitey with plenty of bubbles and a sharp Bourbon pinch on the front end. Next, the chocolate, toasted malts, and light coffee flavors kick in. The best part of the beer was the oak and vanilla finish, which was both sweet and smooth and balanced the Bourbon perfectly. The alcohol content is 9.0% ABV. As stated before, the finish on this beer was immaculate, and the Bourbon was a welcomed addition to the Insidious profile.

  1. Throughout history coffee has been grown in many different countries around the world but none compare to Kopi Luwak. Some have earned great reputation due to flavor,aroma and rarity of the coffee beans. Kopi Luwak, which has the most unique process and rarest availability takes the prize. Kopi Luwak is also known as "Civet Coffee" or "Animal Coffee" is collected from coffee berry beans which have been digested by the Sumatran Asian palm civet.
