Oh Lord! What sauna doesn't heal, is lethal. I didn't die, I'm actually very much alive. Still sore muscles, and tomorrow most likely even more so, but definitely less sore and more relaxed than before/without the sauna. It's just magic. Now #2 Imperial Stout of the Antwerp barrel aged series: Blantons Bourbon barrel aged. I'm not familiar with Blantons Bourbon either but I'm open. The beer pours opaque, oily jet black. The same level of carbonation: timid. The head, too, is identical to yesterday's Antwerp: soft, bronze chocolatey, half a finger tall. The foamy cap dwindles rapidly to a hair-thin lace ring. The nose enjoys milk chocolate, cacao nibs, vanilla, butterscotch and cream. Further down the road, I pick candied orange peel and a suggestion of coffee. Attractive but probably a bit less intensive than yesterday's version. The taste confirms my initial assessment: the package is soft but moderately less powerful than that of the Weller Bourbon version. The parameters include Bourbon, for sure, vanilla, caramel, cream, butterscotch, cacao nibs, honey and candied orange peel. Very inviting! The biggest difference from yesterday is the dark cherry that is absent today. And now that I think carefully, the barrel notes are substantially weaker here. The body is full but not enormous. As if it was bigger yesterday? The finish puts forward a good deal of Bourbon, some barrel nuances, chocolate and vanilla. The beer leaves a relatively full, creamy, soft, lip-glueing and barrel aged sensation in the mouth. It's also somewhat deep, a tad rich but not particularly complex though. Nice, yet not very intense. Weller was sturdier than Blantons.
