Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels and finished with Madagascar vanilla beans and Panama Geisha coffee beans.
Fundamental Observation meets Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Breakfast in our first Transatlantic collaboration! The grain hills of these two legendary beers were blended, brewed, barreled for an average of 18 months, and steeped on Madagascar vanilla beans before being finished with Coldbot’s Panama Geisha coffee beans. End transmission.

Interesting how my friends' ratings differ on this, 3 to 4.75. Medium body, boozy, sweet. Caramel, milky coffee, vanilla, a decent amount of barrel. Smooth, rich, balanced. Held up well, excellent.

Pours quite inky, dark brown. The aroma is just this intense and rich chocolate, vanilla, rich bourbon barrels. On the palate, it's still rich and sugar, with a really big bourbon character, but the sugars round it out. Some balanced vanilla notes, good complexity, rich chocolate, finishing with an alcohol punch. Excellent.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich and complex, with intense coffee beans, treacly vanilla beans, bourbon barrels, and molasses. Flavour is wonderfully elegant and intense, with intense vanilla beans, complex as hell coffee, bourbon, and molasses. The vanilla and coffee beans meld beautifully with the bourbon. Just amazing.

500ml shared with Andrey and Alex in Golden Ears. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: nice fruity and barrel character, don't feel a coffee here. Taste: along the same lines with vanilla notes, somewhat boozy, but in a good way. Overall: very nice.

Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, oak, maple, coffee and cocoa. Taste is medium to heavy sweet and light to medium bitter with a long warm, chocolate, cocoa, maple, coffee, oak and vanilla finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.
