Crepes are just like really thin pancakes, but this beer is anything but thin. We took our base stout recipe and amplified it with craft specialty malts from epiphany malting company. We then fermented it with strawberry, banana, and a literal butt-ton of hazelnut-cocoa spread. The rich, decadent flavors of the chocolate and hazelnut dominate this ale, while the fruit plays to brighten up the sip and create an enticing aroma!

Batch 456. Deep brown body, medium, quickly dissipating beige head. Nose initially banana, then roast and strawberry. The body is sharply carbonated and nicely blended, with banana, strawberry, cocoa, and lactose all prominent. That said, this isn't really an imperial stout, as the acidic, woody base doesn't provide much heft, and the beer is therefore not necessarily anything but thin. Enjoyable but, ultimately, I again had a hard time rating the actual beer part of this equation.
