The original 3BEANS recipe came from ancient texts which described Baltic brewers making beer with beans. For this special barrel-aged version of 3BEANS, the Mad Scientists carefully calibrated the beer with cold brew coffee, rich chocolate, and notes of oak and bourbon to round out the profile.
After years of tinkering with small batches, we went all in on this barrel fleet — 200 bourbon barrels from Widow Jane house the precious liquid that will make up Sixpoint’s first-ever network-wide barrel release.

Dark brown. Thin head. Has a lot of sweet choc, decent coffee. Quite sweet, chocolate malted, light coffee notes. Tastes lighter than it is, and the barrel notes don’t really emerge much.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to light black with a full finger of beige head that lingers. Marshmallow and roasted malt nose, light whisky notes. A bit thin in the palate and finish. Alcohol, faint vanilla, lingering coffee. As it warms some cola-like carbonation comes out. Bitter coffee lingers on the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of 3Beans Barrel-Aged on 23 Dec 2017 at 19:01 - Score: 8.

Shared 12 oz. can. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee notes, faint dark fruits, just a hint of whiskey. Taste is roasted malt, espresso, chocolate notes, vanilla, wood and subtle whiskey notes. Very nice.
Strong whiskey, no hidden abv .

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours black with a small brown head. Aroma is whiskey and wood, of course, so there are hints of vanilla; aside of that, one can get out glimpses of the base beer, such as fresh coffee and chocolate. Taste is not as good as 3beans normal, which I found to be quite tasty. There the flavors were unadulterated; here, there was too much stuff going on.
