Imperial Marshmallow Stout
Amager Bryghus and West Lakeview Liquors Collaboration
When we launched BorrachaBaker made us some s'mores shaped like dinosaurs for our launch event. Then, we made an imperial stout with graham flour, marshmallow fluff, vanilla, and cocoa nibs with Amager and West Lakeview Liquors. Then, we brought this beer to the Brewpub Shootout and paired the beer named after the food with a food the beer wasn't named after. People were confused and named it best beer (or was it food?) at the Shootout.
Malts: Pale, Vienna, Wheat, Cara II, Extra Special, Flaked Oats, Dark Chocolate, Black, Roasted Barley
Hops: Nugget
Secret Ingredients: Marshmallow fluff, vanilla beans, molasses, graham flour, cocoa nibs

Can from Brewer’s Haven. This is one of many beers I’ve been wanting to try for a long time, going back to when I wanted to taste every imperial stout ever made. Dark brown with a nice tan head, but somewhat of a subdued aroma. A little roast and cocoa. Similar taste, it has the bones of a solid Impy, but there is nothing that really says S’mores here.

Not getting any sweetness. Bitter coffee. Unpleasant. Almost wondering if it’s damaged.

Black body, medium light brown head. Aroma mostly cocoa and vanilla, with marshmallows and coffee beans. Roasty and sweet. Body grainy, roasty, with big cocoa/chocolate liqueur, marshmallow, and vanilla, the graham eventually becoming more assertive. Smooth, relatively thin, heavy on the adjuncts. Doesn't seem like a 10.5% ABV beer. Mediocre.

Shared at Dangerous Bottleshare #7. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aromas of vanilla, fudge, light smoke, some chocolate, malts. Taste is sweet, caramel, fudge, marshmallow, vanilla, milk chocolate, malts, light roast and tobacco. I expected more from this, but it’s pretty nice.

Tap pour at Armsby Abbey. Appearance is inky black, no discernible sparkle, inch of off-white head with fair retention. Aroma is chocolate, lactose/cream, marshmallow. Taste is chocolate, lactose, creamy, marshmallow component but also some alcohol, hint of dark fruit and mildest of graham cracker. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish mostly sweet as taste with mild roasted bitterness at end. Overall, as advertised but strong aroma/flavor and good complexity.
