We traditionally brew gallons of Vietnamese Coffee with a phin-style filter that gently percolates water through ground coffee. The result is a chocolatey and bold-tasting coffee that perfectly compliments the notes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon barrel in this massive barrel-aged stout, a true AleSmith legend.

Toch alweer 3 jaar oud. Schenkt pikzwart met een bruine kraag waar een klein laagje van overblijft. Geur van bourbon, geroosterde mout, zoetig, chocola, umami, hout/tannines. In de mond is er vooral bourbon, vanille en chocola. Smaak is vrij zoet (maar niet te), wat tannines, lichte bitterheid. Behoorlijk stevig alcoholgevoel, vrij heet. Redelijk volle body. Veel tannines en wat bitterheid in de afdronk.

Smooth, roasty and sweetish with loads of coffee, some chocolate, vanilla, oak and wood, hints of bourbon.

Olen tahtnud seda juba väga ammu proovida ja lõpuks sain Beer Republicust mõistliku raha eest. Magus ja kohvine, tugev vanilje ja suhkur, röst ja kohv muidugi ka, mõrudust, linnased, nats alksi, aga ABV kohta väga ok. Hea, väga libisev.

Crowler from Harvest. Pours a pitch black with a full finger of brown head that lingers. Big espresso and coffee aromas with some tobacco notes as it warms. Bourbon is there on the nose as well as some cacao nib notes. More of the same on the palate...espresso, bourbon, oak and cacao nib. Warming bourbon finish with espresso all the way down. Glad I was finally able to try this whale. Very nice BA stout.
