FOMO+
(has 1 batch)

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.
