Russian Imperial Stout Barrel Whisky from KONIX Brewery
Bitterness 40, alcohol content 12.5%
Aged in a barrel from Chivas Regal (I haven't tried it, but I disapprove. I disapprove of Chivas, not the aging process).
Nose: very smooth. Apple, pear, grains, cream.
Taste: smooth, but somewhat bland. Sour-sweet. Both hops and malt are subtly expressed. Grainy and fruity notes, coffee with milk, slight alcoholic aftertaste. The finish is very weak; there isn't much to say about it.
It's a decent beer, but too unremarkable. I didn't notice any of the cloying sweetness that I was so afraid of. It's less strong than the previous sample, but at the same time more alcoholic – an obvious drawback. 7.5/10.
