BOURBON BARREL AGED WINTER ALE WITH COCONUT
This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8–12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale. This special edition adds toasted coconut to complement the bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes achieved from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that Coconut Edition B-Bomb will age gracefully for years to come. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Abominable.
Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Crystal-120, Munich, Roast Barley, Carafa-2, and Chocolate malts with Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops with coconut.
ABV: 14.0% IBU: 65
Color: Deep black
Aroma: Toasted coconut, oak, bourbon, vanilla
Flavor: Chocolate, dark fruits, bourbon, coconut
Availability: Released mid-December, limited.
Fresh Range: Age this beer, or try one now...go on.

poirs dark brown,, settles dark brown with a brown to light brown quite fizxzy head. coconut juice and bounty like industrial coconut in the nose. coconut dominates heavily, hard to tell if this is a chocolate cake with coconut frosting, a bounty bar or perhaps a crazy coconutty beer.
flavor has a good dose of roasted malts and some woody bourbon'ish notes. also tons of coconut juice, but the coco works way better in flavor than aroma, tiny bit of chocolate-liqueur like note, some sweet marshmallow like candy like notes, ends fairly roasted malty but with the ton of adjuncs clearly piled on.. is 2026 now, this 2019 bottle has aged perfectly, nobody could tell the age from the flavor. If I really try to detect age it may be present as a super subtle dried fruity note, but that note could very well have been there the whole time as a natural consequence of the barrel aging or the yeast used.
great bottle, decadent, good sipper.

29/3/2025. Bottle from Beerdome Online Store. Pours black with a small frothy tan coloured head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, coconut, roasted malt, bounty bar. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Full bodied, smooth, average to soft carbonation. Very good.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and softish palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts with smooth creamy dark chocolate. An unexpected caramel steak blends in well. Nice fruity bourbon is topped with light smooth coconut. Finishes with the ripe fruit laden coming back and bringing a mild boozy spice with it. One of those impies where everything just sings. Spiffin!
