Westbrook Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Siberian Black Magic Panther Imperial Stout

Westbrook Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Siberian Black Magic Panther is an American Double/Imperial Stout. I got the opportunity to try this at the Green Truck Neighborhood Pub 3rd Year Anniversary Beer Dinner. This event featured farm to table food paired with Westbrook beer. It was a great night of food and drink, but this absolutely amazing beer was the highlight of the evening. Jet black appearance with the perfect thick and chewy mouth-feel. Right upfront on the first sip is the apple brandy barrel, sweet and boozy… I almost don’t want the beer to be any more complex. But complex it becomes, the beer shifts into a blend of deep roasted malts and rich dark chocolate cake. A sweet sipper with a good touch of balance from the roastiness, if this is being poured anywhere near you I would strongly suggest getting there to try it.
