Innis & Gunn Vanishing Point 01 Imperial Stout

There sure is a lot of bullshit going on out there.  So as it is, so as it has always been, so as it will continue to be.  And every so often, you have to take a breather for a moment, for meditation or reflection...or maybe just to have a beer.  One of the pleasures of this world is enjoying a strong brew at the end of the day, sitting on the sofa, the kids in bed, the world turned off for just a few minutes.  Vanishing Point 01 is a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout from Scotland's Innis & Gunn Brewery, and i will say that this 11% ABV concoction was the perfect libation to close out a weekend.  Pouring dark black with a creamy tan head, aromas of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and oak abounding, the brew was slightly sweet, a smooth and creamy mix of said flavors with some very subtle dark fruit notes and an all around pleasant booziness.  Lovely.  I guess it's back to the real world now.
