Pyynikin Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout


Indie brew from Manse, Finland. Not a lot Pyynikin beers have visited my glass, so its time to correct the situation with possibly one of their crown jewels. 

This black stuff smells like bourbon all right, sweet and sugary rum. Taste gives the same sensations but with very nice hoppy bitterness that gives a nice afterburn to melt down too sugary feel. Very nice first touch, quite nice and balanced. 

Still after couple of tastes this feels even a bit too easy? I’m not saying this is bad, but it could use some edge somewhere, its juts very nice, but…

Don’t get me wrong, this is not bad, this is fucking good. But for it to be for example “best beer in Finland” or even close to the best imperial stouts, well, there is still something to be done to get there. After all this blaablaa, I just have to say, go get this and enjoy, its very good, but not sensational.


***+ Very Good
