June 20, 2016 - Fyodor's Classic 2015 Series, batch #1: 2014 Stone Imperial Russian Stout ale aged for 7 months in Kentucky bourbon barrels. 43 IBU, 13% ABV; 500ml bottling dated March, 2015.
Medium+ body with low carbonation. Good balance of maltiness and hoppiness, with the latter making for a good counterpoint to the roasted malt finish, thus ending refreshingly. However, it's rather hollow on the mid-palate and seemingly lacking in complexity, at least at this stage.

February 4, 2016 - Officially three years old now. This beer is 13.9%, and is a BBA booze monster. Bourbon presence is strong, but it somehow maintains a smart elegance. Sweet bourbon/molasses tang, offset by a strong roasted malt flavor typical of Russian Imperial Stouts. Is ageing very nicely, and is nowhere near going downhill. Drink or continue to Hold.
