All aboard the collaboration train - our newest five-way stout is loaded up with delicious flavors that bring us back to the whimsical days of sneaking brownies before dinner. This beer utilized a large number of friends (The Veil, Cloudwater, Monkish and Other Half) and a large amount of real nuts, coconut, coffee, and vanilla.
Adjunction Junction pours a thick, deep brown color with above medium haze. Bringing the glass to the nose calls to mind the charred, crunchy edge of a tray of freshly baked brownies followed by notes of vanilla bean, bold cold brew coffee, and pecan-almond brittle. The palate seamlessly layers flavors of caramel-chip cookies and macadamia blondies with charred dark chocolate and soft brownie batter. Adjunction Junction has a slick yet rounded mouthfeel with a medium body and a delightfully sweet finish.

Power tasting at Salesforce, bottle
It pours a horrible dirty dark brown colour with no head. It smells like a cheap chocolate bar made liquid, it's very sweet, tastes like praline, cheap-ish (ironic, since we are paying 44 freedom Canadian dollars for it), peanut butter, vanilla, almond, touch of tobacco.
Sure, I like sweet pastry Stouts, but this is not impressive, it's not elegant, and I'm offended by the gap between price and quality.

750ml bottle at Sales Force. Appearance: ugly hazy brown with a beige head. Aroma: caramel, nuts, fruitiness. Taste: very sweet, along the same lines. Overall: looks horrible, but it tastes pretty good for a pastry stout.

750mL bottle, pours a murky diarrhea brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out chocolate fudge, earthy notes, and yeast. Flavour is dominated by the marzipan, followed by chocolate brownies, and vanilla. This is a pretty sloppy—a total mess of adjuncts that aren't properly calibrated. It's not terrible, but it's not optimal.

Light brown, no head. Ok, smells like a lot of vanilla, some chocolate...very sweet, like a chocolate bar. Bleh. So much adjunct. No real base beer, I mean not one that you would care to drink. Flatish, strong, and yeah, not doing it for me.

Chalky, woody, coffee and raw chilli powder. Dirty brown with no head. Dark and sweet with almond and so much crap I just can’t tell. To sweet and muddled.

Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Tan head with little retention recedes to nothing. Hot coconut, vanilla, macadamia and pecan aromas. Thick with sweet vanilla and caramel upfront turning to coconut and pecan before the lasting mocha finish. Becomes cloying over time docking a few points.
