A stout brewed with coffee aged in Traverse City Whiskey Co. first use barrels. The coffee used as an addition to this beer is from Water Street Coffee Joint in Kalamazoo. Vanilla beans were added to each cask during the aging process. The result is a stout with soft oak, mocha, spicy and nutty characteristics with a big vanilla finish.

Aroma has a strong vanilla note with strong roasted malts supporting and hints of dark grains, whiskey and a bit of almond backing. Flavor starts with strong vanilla and is supported by roasted malts, dark grains, almond and whiskey.
