We would like to introduce Parfait (Vanilla Bean, Cocoa Nib, Missouri Walnut)! Parfait will lay the ground work for a small line of beers focusing on experimenting with new adjunct combinations in a blend of Shared Vibes base with Side Project Barrel-Aged Stouts.

For this first release, we looked to an idea Rich had contributed to our idea board in the brewery (yeah, we started writing down ideas on a board in the brewery last year - some are serious, most are crazy!) which included using Vanilla Beans (Mexican, Madagascar, Ugandan), Cocoa Nibs from Ghana and Missouri Walnuts! These ingredients were steeped in a beer which consisted of Shared Vibes and Side Project Barrel-Aged Stout aged for 30 months in Willett Bourbon barrels with Ugandan Vanilla Beans in the barrel. The result is Parfait.

Dark brown, lots of sugar. Rich, with abundant coffee and dark sugars. On the palate, sticky, cut a bit by the alcohol. Quite good.

16oz (thx, Brent L.!) @ Matt's. Appearance: very dark brown with a weak beige head. Aroma: heavy sweetness, dark fruits, vanilla (maybe a bit artificial or just too much of it?), chocolate. Taste: dark fruits, vanilla, chocolate, barrel. Overall: it's a good beer, but it's not that complex and heavy and nice IMHO for the price. It looks like Side Project went too far with its pricing strategy.

16 oz. can, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out burnt sugars, toasted nuts, and medium coffee. Flavour is complex, with lots of coffee, some vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, and a touch of barrels. Chocolatey, vanilla-y and fairly sweet, but with plenty of complexity. Tasty sweet dessert stout.
