Nerdsense Drinks – Episode 5 – Sierra Nevada Narwhal vs Barrel Aged Narwhal

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

Sierra Nevada Narwall

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!
