Imperial Eclipse Stout - Four Roses Bourbon (Red)


Imperial Eclipse Stout – Four Roses Bourbon (Red Wax)
FiftyFifty Brewing Co.
Truckee, California
9.50% ABV
Style: Imperial Stout

C: Black
H: Dark Black
N: Chocolate, Bourbon, Vanilla

The Ferm: Well this is the second Imperial Eclipse Stout that I have drank and reviewed for the blog. The Four Roses was dramatically different from the Elijah Craig barrel treatment. The body was thinner, and the flavor was a little weaker. While the Four Roses had a stronger bourbon flavor to it, it did not seem nearly as balanced as the E. Craig.
All this said the beer is still amazing but it is not nearly as good as the Elijah Craig barrel aged. I would still attempt to grab another bottle of either, but maybe it is because of The Cerveza Chica I am just drawn to the Purple Wax.
Score: 4.51023
