White Label Imperial Russian Stout Early Jack BA

The beers in the White Label series from the Dutch brewery Emelisse are barrel-aged specialty beers that get their special character from the use of different wooden barrels The White Labels from 2018 focus on various flavor nuances and offer the interested beer drinker a wide range of exciting aromas The Imperial Russian Stout Early Jack was bottled in whiskey barrels after the brewing process and is therefore reminiscent of the wonderful aromas of a good whiskey in terms of taste

Early Jack is best drunk from a fine, voluminous glass Here the beer has enough space to develop its complex aroma The dark beer presents itself in a deep black mahogany color in the glass and forms a fine, beige head A wonderful aroma rises from the creamy foam into the nose: Fiery whiskey meets melt-in-the-mouth chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, liquorice, roasted hazelnuts, a hint of vanilla and a small, smoky peat note What is already an olfactory delight, reveals its gustatory repertoire in the first sip A bourbon-like sweetness washes over the palate and brings with it the taste of dried cherries The fine fruitiness is joined by wonderful roasted aromas of coffee beans, roasted nuts and peat Vanilla, chocolate and liquorice lend the beer a beautiful spiciness The brilliant beer is rounded off by a pointed bitterness

Considering the abundance of flavors, Early Jack appears surprisingly light-footed and palatable on the tongue The 10.8% alcohol content presents itself as fiery heat that warms body and soul

An exciting Imperial Russian Stout!
