Prepare for the bar to be raised. This absolute unit of an imperial dessert stout is a blend of Foeder Infinity Gauntlet, Dragon Mask, Modem Tones, & Monsters’ Park, all of which were aged in an array of whiskey & bourbon barrels from legendary distilleries from 5-14 months. Our Special Projects Sorcerers conjured the perfectly delicious blend, then upped the ante by adding toasted coconut, a jaw-dropping amount (nearly a pound per barrel) of Ugandan & Papua New Guinea Planifolia vanilla, toasted cassia cinnamon sticks, Coffee Cake Blend coffee, Deglet Noor dates, & roasted walnuts. It is truly a feat of thicc-craft, and a true testament to the unparalleled powers of our brew-wizards

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black, no head. Aroma is full of dark dried fruits, coffee, cinnamon, and rich bourbon. Flavour has a nice cinnamon spiciness, complemented by dark dried fruits, coffee, rich bourbon barrels, and a touch of vanilla. Incredible blend of dates, cinnamon and bourbon especially. Sublime.

22oz (thx, Brian S.!) @ SF.
Cinnamon, chocolate, moderately sweet. Taste is along the same lines, with cinnamon, chocolate, coffee, and some American oak being nicely balanced. On the thinner side as for MT, but it's still a good one.

Dark brown. Great aroma - lots of coffee, dates, and a bit of vanilla, even the walnuts. It's all coming together in there with a rich bourbon and big alcohol note. All this comes together beautifully on the palate...all those things that are individual on the nose, come together as a whole on the palate. Sweet vanilla notes, big body, lots of bourbon. Rich, complex, and I'm also digging the more fruity character, lively in the body, that complements the rich dark malts and coffee.

500mL bottle. Pours opaque dark brown with a beige head. Bourbon, vanilla, and dates on the nose; maybe a little bit of green pepper. Flavour has tons of coffee, vanilla, dates, dark chocolate, cinnamon, bourbon; boozy warmth. Phenomenal complexity, all of the flavours work. This is excellent.

Bottle thanks to Wally. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast, dark chocolate, molasses, cinnamon, whiskey, wood, vanilla. Slick body, roasted malt, cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla, molasses, boozy finish, enjoyed this.
