ALLLLLLLLLLLL the vanilla! Nuff said. 15.4% ABV imperial stout housed for over three years in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels then aged on more hand split vanilla beans than you can imagine. Vanilla bomb all the way, baby!
Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with Cook Islands tahitensis vanilla beans, Costa Rica tsy taitra vanilla beans & Brazil planifolia vanilla beans.

500mL bottle. Pours nearly black. Loads of vanilla beans, dark sugars, and bourbon barrels on the nose. Flavour has tons of vanilla beans up front, dark sugars, a bit of char, and a big bourbon barrel finish. Huge vanilla bomb, this is great.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a tiny head. Aroma has a complex vanilla bean character, big bourbon barrels, and dark sugars. Flavour is dominated by intense, quite complex vanilla beans, big bourbon barrels, and gentle dark sugars. Wonderful vanilla integration, accentuated subtly by the barrels. Lovely.
