This week the boys do a head to head against the mighty Narwall! We pit Sierra Nevada’s Imperial stout vs it’s barrel aged cousin in a head to head show down!
Sierra Nevada Barrel Aged Narwall
Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 5/5
Notes: Nose – Bourbon (Duh!) Vanilla, sweeter aroma, caramel and chocolate makes the sweetness. Flavor – Chocolaty and much sweeter with less coffee than the regular Narwall. Lots and lots of bourbon
Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 12oz Bottle
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Smells mellow coffee, very boozy on the nose, cocoa. Taste is dark chocolate, coffee, boozy without a burn in the back
Narwall + Barrel Aged Narwall Blend
Notes: Milkshake or Sweet Stout. This takes the harshness out and it’s extremely smooth. The smell isn’t much but the flavor is great!
