Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout with Toasted Coconut & Coffee

The first pillar in the series is 2022 Benthic Barrel Aged Stout with Toasted Coconut and Coffee. This was the beer that walked us out here - electrifying a supremely decadent synapsis between black velvet, baritone, stout and our slithery little eel minds. Hand-toasted coconut, whole bean coffee and litany of lumber from bourbon's finest. Fire breathing barrel, silky moonshiner fruit, island tropicocono, morning coffee, luxury sludge smothered under a mountainous grain bill of night-black brewer's malt.

Every crevice packed.

Fat på MBCC 2018, grönt pass. Svart tjock vätska med mörkbrun krona. Doft av krämig fudge, bourbon, lätt kokoston, choklad. Stor maffig kropp. Bra hetta från alkoholen och fatlagringen. I smaken kola, toffee, choklad, bourbon, kolaremmar, marsipan och likörpralin. Gott!

Keg at MBCC Bronus Gold session, 13/05/18. Black with a well presented tan head. Nose is roast malts, light charr, cocoa powder, coffee grinds, ashen notes. Taste comprises sweet malts, toffee, coffee roast, light black peppery spice, mellow barrel, chocolate. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying with a balanced boost. Ok impy stout but lacks a little depth to pull it out of 4th gear.
