A small snifter of this, the stout that launched Nrrrrvous' new obsession, was delicious late Saturday night.

Well, maybe not obsession, which should be the word reserved for other activities.

A small snifter of this, the stout that launched Nrrrrvous' new obsession, was delicious late Saturday night.

From Untappd:

"This Rich, creamy, imperial stout is made with 80 boxes of Honey Maid Graham Crackers & aged in Balcones Bourbon Barrels. The special roasted barley used gives the beer a rich chocolatey backing; the lactose gives the beer a sweet, smooth finish."

Sounds delightful. "Three Sips" sounds like a good name for a beer...

Hang on to the memory of that one. I've got a limited edition "Rye Whiskey" Barrel Aged version coming your way. I want you to compare and let me know what you think...

"Three Scoops" was a good name, too.

The second 6 ounce serving the following night was just as tasty albeit with a bit less carbonation. Highly recommended.

IOW, some posts are worth re-visiting.

Good pickup on the ABV difference. The one I reviewed was an "eisbock" and the one you bought sounds/looks like their "regular" weizendoppelbock (a great/classic beer) and not "artificially enhanced" with freezing and removing the eis/ice to raise the ABV.

This Aventinus doppelbock is the krzyzt. RJ was right: Extremely well balanced. Some banana & clove. Some breadiness. Terrific mouthfeel. Dangerously drinkable at 8.2% ABV. An excellent German beer, and the Germans know their beer.

Pilsners/lagers, hefes and bocks/doppelbocks-Ja!

Sours/stouts-Nein!
