Bourbon Barrel Aged Breakfast Stout • 13.1% ABV • In late 2021 we blazed through an unexpected hit of a canned sweet stout release -- there were astronauts and maple syrup! There were grizzly bears and blueberries! There were DeLoreans! There was No Time to Explain!
We've applied that absurdly delicious finishing treatment to a mix of Fundamental Observation barrels filled throughout 2020, 2021, and 2022, then blended with a chewy, lactose-based sweet stout for a liquid that can only rightly be called: More Time to Explain!
Huge aromas of ripe blueberry and sweet maple syrup deliver waves of blueberry pancake-stuffed nostalgia. Bright blueberry opens the palate, then oaky vanilla from beans and barrel hit mid-palate, tempering the sweetness of a long, maple-rich finish. Lactose contributes a creamy mouthfeel on a velvety base that drinks like the Sunday morning of a three-day weekend.

Intense dark sweet malty with chocolate, caramel and sticky maple, some nice blueberry coming through as it warms up, smooth mouthfeel and full body, sweet lingering and warming malty finish. Lovely.

Sweet, creamy and slightly lactic with some maple syrup, jammy blueberries, vanilla and cocoa, hints of chocolate sauce. A bit heavy

Pours black, no real head. Scent is sweet, BBA. Taste is full, roasty, sweet, bit hot. A red-fruit like character, acidic touch behind all the sweetness. Nice.

ntensiver, gewürzig malziger Beginn. Leichte Süße, cremig, zunehmend alkoholisch. Würzig, langer Abgang mit Schokolade, etwas Tonka und viel Kakao. 10/11/12/12//12
