Andersons Craftbeer Seven Seas of Rye Wild Turkey Bourbon BA Imperial Stout Strong Dark Beer 33 cl 13.5%
Andersons Craftbeer Seven Seas of Rye is a massive, dark and deeply barrel‑aged imperial stout where the spicy edge of rye malt meets intense sweetness, dark roasted malts and a pronounced bourbon character. The beer pours pitch black with a thick, oily viscosity that immediately signals its heavy and concentrated nature.
The aroma opens with dark chocolate, burnt caramel, rye bread and roasted malts, followed by distinct bourbon notes from the Wild Turkey barrels: vanilla, oak, warm spices and a clear alcoholic sweetness. Beneath the first layers lie hints of dried fruit, molasses and a light smoky wood note that adds depth and complexity.
The flavour is full‑bodied, creamy and intense. The rye malt contributes a spicy, lightly peppery edge that plays against the dark malts’ notes of cocoa, espresso, liquorice and caramelised sugar. The bourbon barrels add warmth, vanilla, tannins and a rounded oak character that balances the sweetness and creates a powerful yet harmonious whole. The 13.5% alcohol is noticeable but well integrated, giving a long, warm finish.
The aftertaste is deep and persistent with dark chocolate, toasted oak, bourbon, rye spice and a sweet, warm tail. The combination of rye, dark malts and bourbon makes the beer complex, intense and surprisingly balanced.
This imperial stout suits those who seek a heavy, barrel‑aged and spicy stout experience with both power and finesse. It works especially well as a post‑dinner beer or as a slow sipper enjoyed on its own.
