Barrel-aged vanilla and coffee stout.
Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with Madagascar vanilla beans, then finished with Mostra-roasted Panama Geisha coffee beans.
We had no real intention of ever bottling #FOMO -- it felt like we'd be undercutting the name and philosophy. But during the peak of the pandemic, we'd been tasting some fascinating casks and hollered at Mike Arquines, who helped us find a great bean blend with the Mostra Coffee team. We bottled what had only ever been a draft-exclusive release accompaniment as a little spark of joy during a pretty bleak time and called it a golden anomaly.
Two years later, we're on the receiving end of the FOMO feels when Mike calls with wildly rare access to the sister lot of Bambito Estate's "Avalanche of Flavor," the Best of Panama-winning, $1,502/lb. at auction, Panama Geisha coffee beans. We had to have it, and this year's batter-rich Fundamental base was deemed the worthiest of destinations.
Aromas on FOMO+ are unmistakably coffee-rich; sparkling with the celebrated honeysuckle, peach, and bergamot nuances of these extraordinary beans. There's a gentle, balanced acidity to the palate of Panama Geisha coffee, and steeping it on our Madagascar vanilla bean-soaked Imperial Stout opens swirling portals of caramelly nougat, chocolate milkshakes, and whiffs of nutmeg. It's transportive in every way.
This coffee is rare and hyper-delicate. If you're lucky enough to secure a bottle of FOMO+, please store it cold and open it soon with people you cherish. Don't miss out on the magic of how this beer drinks right now.

Tap at Billieβs, on Saturday. Loads of cacao, coffee, vanilla and booze, this one took me back straight to 2020 in the best possible sense.

Rated at Ryyppyliiteri. Sweetish, slightly roasty and heavy with coffee notes, hints of chocolate, vanilla, bourbon and earthiness. Okay

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is rich and complex, with intense bourbon barrels, plenty of vanilla beans, and moderate roasted coffee in good balance. Flavour is rich and deep, with intense coffee and vanilla beans in wonderful cohesion, wrapped up in decadent bourbon barrels. Beautifully balanced, yet rich and extreme without being abrasive. Lovely.

Dark brown with a thick head. Aroma showcases a lot of coffee. Vanilla slides into the finish after a roasty start. The barrel and chocolate that you get with all these bottle logics is up front the whole way. Another winner.
