Nillerzzzzz is our barrel aged vanilla bean double stout. Fermented in stainless before aging in rye whiskey and bourbon barrels for 15 months. Our extended aging process fosters a warming spirit character, rich malt layers, oaky vanillin , and a thick luscious mouthfeel. We condition the blend on freshly scraped vanilla bean caviar from five different growing regions. Blended to drink now with your most adventurous friends and family members. Vintage 2019 Blend #2 differs from Vintage 2018 Blend #1 as it is a bit richer and has a distinct rye barrel character blended with a sweetness from the bourbon barrels. The body is thicker and more viscous with a more restrained fusel alcohol character. The vanilla beans in blend #2 are from Madagascar, Uganda, Tahiti, Tonga and Papua New Guinea.

B2 (2019) Pours black, no real head. Scent is full, roasty, vanilla, bottle logic-like. Taste is full, relatively light - yet noticable alcohol. A bit of acidity from the black malts. Vanilla, fairly intense. Lovely but not amazing to me.

Oh, there we are. It's finally open! An exceptionally well made BA vanilla stout, but the age probably did eat some nilla intensity. Sweet, rich and boozy, with plenty of barrel character. Chocolate, vanilla and bourbon. Nom.

Vintage 2020 vanilla dubbel stout Woodford Reserve barrel. - 1 point for the silly wax. Pours viscously as black-brown oil with no head. Chocolate, very intense, Bourbon, some wood, getting vanilla - Creme Anglaise-sweet. Sweet-boozy-chocolate with a sourish finish, as some patisseriecake full of chocolate and sour berries. Ultra-dense, chocolate sauce-like; low carbonation. Rich, voluptuous and boozy - some beer!

Flaska från Forager, b3 (2020). Brunsvart med en nätt liten mörkbrun krona. Ganska väl avvägd och integrerad vanilj, choklad, kakaonibs, mycket kexighet, hårt rostade toner, mjuk moccaton. Mycket fat, snygg kryddighet och, liksom resten, så oerhört väl integrerat. Mycket av allt och ändå så oerhört väl avvägt. Elegant kraftpaket. Ligger kvar i munnen länge.

Lci, flavor gets lost a bit, mostly rye and vanilla hints.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong vanilla bean, roast, bourbon, oak, cocoa. Thick body, chewy roast, dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, boozy finish, enjoyed this.
