Narwhal Barrel Aged is an imposing Imperial Stout from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Chico, California. This powerful beer (11.9% ABV) matures for a year in bourbon barrels, developing rich complexity and depth.

The aroma leads with roasted coffee and espresso, layered with oak and vanilla notes from barrel aging. On the palate, dark chocolate and roasted malt combine with bourbon-barrel character: vanilla, coconut, and subtle molasses. The finish is warming and lingering, with bourbon oak and dark roasted grain.

A full-bodied, contemplative stout that rewards slow sipping and showcases the craft of long-term barrel aging.
