Language is awesome. There are so many synonyms! You can say almost anything! And if you can’t describe it with words you know – you can make something up and chances are you’ll still be understood. Because Language! There are a lot of synonyms for intense, and a lot of synonyms for committed. There are synonyms for great, too. 43 of them, in fact.
But none of those synonyms could truly, truly describe this double imperial stout or the almost pathological dedication it took to execute this level of Pastry. It’s a Full Pastry Send.

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Thick, inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is peanut, vanilla, coconut, mild banana and bourbon, with nothing super strong but everything super well balanced. Taste is strong peanut, banana, vanilla, mild coconut, bourbon barrel in the background. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. No sign of alcohol. Wonderful balance.

500mL bottle 2024, drunk 11/1/25. As pictured.
Banana and barrel for days. Oily, chocolatey, malty with minor lead and spice from the lovely barrel. No booze. Sweet but not intensely so.
Big vanilla and banana. Elijah Craig alive and well. Soft, succulent, sweet. Still a lot of banana and lighter coconut. Not boozey. Fudgey and sweet. The barrel makes the beer.

500 ml bottle, thank you Clarkvv on the share! Aroma is bananas, chocolate and coconut. Flavor is rich with coconut throughout. Banana and chocolate finish. Bourbon is here just enough for balance. Shows Elijah Craig pretty decent presence. ABV not shown. Very good!

This smells insane. Taste is delightful. Coconut, hint of bananna. Wonderful barrel treatment. Damn this is fine.

500mL bottle. Pours black with minimal tan head. Aroma has vanilla, coconut, chocolate, peanuts. Flavour has peanut, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, banana. Pretty heavy-handed, but flavours are well-integrated. Mouthfeel is thick and almost syrupy. Very much a pastry beer, well-executed.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a tiny head. Nose has plenty of Thai banana, vanilla, peanuts, and a touch of coconut, with decadent bourbon underneath. Flavour is extremely rich and decadent, with lots of Thai banana, peanuts, coconut, vanilla, and some bourbon. Integrated flavours, with a silky, oily palate. Excellent.

Very dark, inky, no head. The aroma is wild - light peanut, vanilla and the Thai banana. On the palate, super rich, thick and sticky dark sugars. The vanilla provides good roundness. The peanut and Thai banana flow well here, just mellow. Coconut shows in the finish. Ok, this is excellent.
