This year's version continues that amazing base 'Noche pedigree with stout aged an average of 25 months (some as old as 33 months) in barrels that include Old Weller Antique 107, George Dickel 11-yr Bottled in Bond, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel (8-yr), Limited Edition Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon (15-yr), Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Chocolate Rye (6-yr) and Old Forester 1910 double barrels.
After all that extended aging and subsequent multi-step blending, the finished base was conditioned on more than 3 lbs/gallon of toasted coconut flakes and raw coconut chips (read: an absolute TON of coconut), then finished with toasted hazelnut. As much as we loved the 2020 version of this beer, 2021 has captured our hearts and palates even more, and we couldn't be more stoked to send this follow-up out into the world.

Bottle shared. Thanks Adam! Pours a thick and viscous deep brown to back with a finger brown head that lingers. Lovely notes of hazelnut, coconut and dark chocolate and bourbon. Palate is very similar with loads of hazelnut syrup and dark chocolate. Coconut lingers on the finish with deep bourbon and oak notes.

500ml (thx, Francis T.!) shared with Matt on Alex's rooftop. Appearance: machine oil pour, dark brown. Aroma: hazelnut syrup with chocolate. Taste: along the same line, it's like a syrup, super sweet and thick. Overall: nice, but oversweet and too syrupy.
