Malt beverage aged in bourbon barrels with vanilla.
We take a big American stout and stuff it into a bourbon barrel where is lays dormant until it is ready to meld itself with vanilla and blossom into it’s own creation. Enjoy!

Bottle. Pours Black with a small creamy beige head. Nose is roasted and dry. Flavor adds bourbon, coffee, roast and vanilla and slight coconut in the far finish. Smooth, full bodied and very tasty. Roasted dry bitter finish. Excellent.

Bottle at home. Jet black color, tan head. Aroma is malts, vanilla indeed, sweetish. Flavor is similar, don't get much else. Soft roast in the flavor adds a pleasant bitterness. Pretty nice. 8-4-8-4-17

The flavour is moderate sweet, light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, slightly oily, liqouirce, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
