People of Earth! We're thrilled to retain some small sense of normalcy with the timely release of our next #StasisProject bottle. As they say, life, uh, finds a way.
We spared no expense in the creation of #Cryopreservation, a collaboration with the mad scientists at Aslin Beer Company!
A new species of lactose stout base underwent advanced bourbon barrel-aging with the addition of Madagascar vanilla beans. We then blended it with the DNA of fresh pistachios and -- bingo: Pistachio Ice Cream Stout!

2023 batch 003 bottle drunk 8/2/23. Undetermined clarity. Dark. Tan head immediately to ring. A bit of booze up front with fruity bourbon/vanilla and a bit of lactose. Don't get actual, nutty pistachio...wonder if this is some sort of extract? So damned fruity, wow. Hard to tell what to expect from the flavor based on the nose. Reminds of napolitano ice cream, so they did do that well. Wow. What?! Big bursts of fuzzy pistachio nuttiness, earthy, oily, rich. Good acidity with bourbon bracing in the background. Sweet, with lactose exacerbating, though I suppose lactose is more appropriate here than in most beers (given the aims of an ice cream stout). Huge lactose, fruity vanilla, lots of chocolate and pistachio, but just SO god damned sweet. Jesus. Yeah, I split this bottle two ways and I can't even finish half my glass. Just punishingly sweet, despite the pistachio and bourbon being quite nice. They had no business releasing this beer yet. This needs 3 more months at the very minimum, if not 6 months or more like a year. I think it has potential, but this is way, way, way too young.
