The second barrel aged beer for our 2021-2022 Moksa Advocators is Barrel Aged Happy Almonds. This Imperial Stout began its journey as a barrel aging stout recipe that was laid to rest in Old Fitzgerald and George T. Stagg barrels for 20 months. We then treated the barrel aged liquid with 1 lb per gallon of coconut, 10 lbs per bbl of almonds, and .7 lbs per bbl of Congolese vanilla beans. Barrel aged candy bars do not exist, but if they did, this would be the liquid form of it.

Tap at MBCC. Oily ddep brown pour with no had. Lots of bourbon, a truckload of nuts, oceans of chocolate, nougat and light coffee. Heavily sweet, it's got a huuuge body and close to zero carbonation.
