(from label)

Cumulus is a 100% Barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout absolutely jammed packed with 450+ pounds of toasted coconut flakes and over 9 pounds of Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla beans. And this year’s batch is even better and more over the top. Cumulus overflows with aromas and flavors of coconut, rich milk chocolate, brownie batter caramel, marshmallow fluff and Bourbon. It is the boozy treat that you’ve been craving to get you through the colder months and Holiday festivities!
