We brewed a layered dream! A sweetly soft, robust and elegant flavored beer with plush vanilla and da Matteo roasted Colombian Tabi coffee. Then, we let it mature in lovely Whisky barrels. Avec deluxe!
Here at Dugges we love doing big luxurious stouts. We love doing coffee stouts. And, we love Vanilla. So, when we decided to do a beer for, first and foremost, America, these three things were always in the back of our heads. We also knew we had to go big. Wanting to really showcase Sweden and Gothenburg we reached out to Gothenburg coffee roasters da Matteo. They jumped on board and sourced a beautiful Tabi bean from Victor Barrera in Colombia which they gave a modern roast, really adding to the decadent stout and insane amounts of Vanilla. Then, we put that beer in a mix of peated and un-peated whisky barrels. All grown up!

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: black in the pour and in the glass with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated somewhat quick and left a little bit of concave lace
Aroma: deep milk chocolate, sweet coffee, roasted coffee, vanilla, smoky and some woody/barrel tones
Flavor: starts sweet but opens up into a blend of roasty to smoky and sweet character with some toasted edges; finishes chocolatey sweet with the roast and light smoke
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, good smoothness
Overall: nicely done impy stout well worthy of seeking out again.

Bottle. A- Smoke, burnt espresso, whisky, fudge, mild peat. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T-Scotch, peaty, smoke, molasses, burnt espresso, fudge. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly boozy finish. O- Was this barrel aged? It tasted like it laid in a scotch whisky barrel for a bit. Appreciated but unexpected. Would perhaps explain the 15% abv. Might be more scotch then imperial stout but I'm not complaining.

Jet brown with a small beige head. Coffee, vanilla and lots of chocolate. Woody and smoky with some nice sweetness and bitterness. A bit hot but nice.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of whiskey barrels upfront, followed by earthy coffee, and a hint of vanilla. Flavour is full of smoky whiskey barrels upfront, followed by lots of earthy coffee, and a little vanilla. Lovely smokey whiskey and earthy coffee. Loads of whiskey and smokiness, with a boozy finish. Very good, even if a bit boozy.
