Bourbon barrel aged stout infused with white chocolate, vanilla bean, lactose milk sugar, and mint. White chocolate and mint provide the base for this beer’s sweet dessert-like aroma, while the lactose provides body to complement a dry, alcohol warming finish. A small portion of vanilla beans are added to enhance the flavor without additional sweetness.

Huge thanks JFK10000 for letting me try it - bottled at Ambasada. BLack body, almost no head. Caramel, dried raisin, bourbon notes, minty. Fresh mint on heavy caramel, raisin and bourbon-vanilla barrel malty notes. Quite okay, I love mint, so it works.

Roasty, sweetish and slightly earthy with some vanilla, chocolate, cocoa and hints of mint and barrel. Luckily the mint notes are quite subtle here.
