Imperial Stout fermented and aged in Missouri oak Foeders. Finished on Bananas, Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Toasted Coconut, and Raw Coconut. 15% ABV. We worked hard to get the banana character to come out in this beer, it was definitely much more difficult than we anticipated. Literal tons of bananas later, trying different kinds of bananas, pushing off the release until we got it right, the result is amazing.

Bottle. Sweet, warming and smooth. Brown sugar, dark chocolate, some coffee, alcohol, booze, spices and perhaps some pepper or chili. Banana notes. Too sweet, but sure fine. 847416 251129

Bottle shared by ClarkVV --thanks, Clark! Opaque, inky black, nice viscosity, solids around side of the glass. Aroma is strong banana over vanilla and mild coconut. Taste is strong sweet vanilla, cacao, banana. Smooth texture, full bodied, syrupy, soft carbonation and finish as taste. A little syrupy and sweet but excellent strength for non-barrel.

375mL bottle can't find a date, drunk 8/31/24. Clear, thick, dark. No head. Smells like banana, vanilla, creamy oatmeal and bourbon soaked cookies. Strong, not boozey. Banana is excellent though I don't know that I love banana in beer yet... Vanilla, brown sugar, brown butter, rich, rich, sweet, succulent malts with moderate banana and tons of vanilla and creamy banana pudding. Bourbon, all the while, in the background keeps the sweetness in check. Banana brulee and so much rich vanilla. Love the acidity, though. Balanced, in the end.

Brownish black, low carbed, syrupy thick. Tastes very sweet first, followed by roast and some oak. Loads of ripe banana, soft vanilla, subtle creamy coconut. Intense flavours, but quite delicious ones as well. Maybe a bit too much of a good thing.
