Inspired by the classic Dutch cookie best enjoyed with a cup of coffee. Our brewers used rich caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and freshly roasted coffee beans to bring that experience to our signature, bourbon barrel-aged Stout.

4/VII/22 - 12Fl. Oz. bottle @ scouting camp, BB: n/a (2022-853) Thanks to Tom for sharing the bottle!
Clear dark brown beer, small aery irregular beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of alcohol, lots of chocolate as well, malty, good roast, some tonka maybe, or cinnamon? Definitely some caramel, more chocolate and vanilla, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, bitter touch, lots of alcohol, complex, some cinnamon, coffee touch, lots of dark chocolate, a bit sugary, nice stuff! Aftertaste: ripe banana, coffee, dark chocolate, alcohol, caramel, cinnamon in the finish. I like it!

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a fizzy, short-lived brown head. Cocoa, molasses, bourbon in the aroma. Flavor of dark cocoa, vanilla & bourbon, coffee, molasses, caramel, maple, rounded out by the cinnamon. A lot going on, but it comes together fairly well.

2022 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan foam that dissipates quickly. Lovely coffee and vanilla focused nose with some caramel as it warms. Bourbon is muted, but caramel turns up on the palate. Good balance, smooth and easy drinking for the ABV.

Vanilla, cinnamon, caramel malt, and hay aroma. Dark brown with minimal head. Moderately sweet vanilla, cinnamon, caramel malt, and moderately bitter hay and alcohol flavor. Good body. Not bad - not as sweet as expected.
