This outlandishly delicious beer is the result of a 50/50 blend of Monsters’ Park and Modem Tones, both aged for 7 months in bourbon barrels which had previously housed maple syrup. Following the blend, the beer was conditioned on freshly-roasted coffee beans, toasted coconut, and a whole lot of vanilla. When it was all over, what arose was a dessert-laden beverage of the highest order, with flavors and aromas of tiramisu, coffee, chocolate, and roasted marshmallows.

Aroma: awesome dark chocolate, sweetness, some American oak, coconut, and vanilla. A bit of booze. Bold and rich.
Taste: moderately to highly thick and sweet, noticeable maple notes, American oak, dark chocolate, a lot of coconut, some dark fruits, vanilla, nice notes of warming alcohol.
Overall: complex, balanced, and very nice. Awesome 10k beer! ❤️

Poured from the tap @ MT Lomaland. Black with small tan head. Coconut, vanilla, marshmallow, feint coffee and bourbon in the background. Mostly a coconut and marshmallow bomb. Dangerously easy drinking, abv is quite hidden, also surprisingly more medium bodied. Very good.

On tap at Modern Times - Lomaland, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is ridiculously intense and complex, with rich bourbon barrels, coffee, coconuts and vanillin — yeah, that's alright. Flavour is absurdly complex and intense, with an incredible bourbon barrel character upfront, accentuated by coconut, and then vanilla, cocoa and molasses. Ridiculous depth and complexity, with so many complementary aspects. Absolutely phenomenal.

Sample at MBCC 2018. Very dark and black colour. Very sweet taste with spices. A bit to sweet for me

A classic, lots of barrel vanilla and coconut. Smooth thick and chocolatey. Rich and in the sweet spot in terms of balanced adjunct notes

Yessir. Slaying whales at Modern Times. Inky black pour, tiny tan head, bit of lacing. Aroma is decadent chocolate maple vanilla liqour, rich desert topping with a bit of bourbon for fun. Flavor is huge, rich, tucken sweet, pancakes. Amazingly not hot. Just a bit of bitterness. Full, silky body. Fuck this is good, but 5oz is about the max.
