A Deeper Understanding was blended from four different barrel vintages containing different base stouts, before aging on four unique regions of vanilla bean caviar. Vanilla caviar from Tahiti, Congo, Ecuador and Vanuatu frolic with Weller, Bakers, and Rockfilter barrel character. An intense aroma of charred chicory infused dark chocolate, smothered in toasted marshmallows drizzled with Frederiksdal coulis envelops the atmosphere around this liquid. The flavor reveals deep layers of spiced chocolate covered cherry truffles, stuffed into a toasted marshmallow, on a milk chocolate stroopwafel when enjoyed at Minnesota autumn temperatures. Another chapter in our everlasting quest to unlock hidden secrets within vanilla

Tap. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is intense vanilla, cocoa, chocolate. Taste is vanilla, high-quality though, very rich, cocoa, thick, a bit vineous, almost a bit tart for balance, mon cheri, mashmallows too, warming finish. Very thick mouthfeel with almost no carbonation. Extremely good if you are into the vanilla.

750ml bottle. Nice vanilla overdose with loads of barrel and chocolatey notes. Complex with vanilla beans, wheaty bourbon, oak and woody notes. Quite tasty and balanced. Great stuff.

Thick and oily, sweet and boozy. Strong vanilla, dark chocolate, bourbon. Some red and dark berries in the finish. Very smooth, even soft. Excellent.
