Coconut Cake is the dessert we crave when the weather is hot! The base version was originally released in 2019 and nearly two years later, the Barrel-Aged expression of this rich, yet refreshing Imperial Stout is ready to be enjoyed. Aged primarily in Rum barrels, with a smaller percentage of Bourbon barrel-aged components included, the resulting final blend is rich and decadent, yet deceivably drinkable.
Brewed with toasted coconut and Madagascar vanilla beans, Barrel-Aged Coconut Cake presents an opaque black color with a mocha foam cap. Indulgent chocolatier aromas lead the way. Sweet, candied coconut, dense fudge, creamy vanilla, and rum-soaked oak staves make for a complex and supremely satisfying experience throughout. Medium-bodied, with a glass-coating viscosity and gentle alcohol warmth, each sip leaves the senses highly rewarded.
STYLE: Imperial Stout
ABV: 15.9%
HOPS: Co2 Hop Extract
MALT: American 2 Row Barley, Pale Malt, Crystal Malt, Flaked Barley, Simpson DRC, Chocolate Malt, Munich Malt, C-60, Chocolate Wheat, Pale Chocolate
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Toasted Coconut, Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Dark Brown Sugar, Milk Sugar, Almond Meal

Nice that they offer this on draught, Fenway location, 9/12/21.
Inky black w tan, quickly-receding heading. Nice mix of sugar, oxidation, roast and a soft but rich vanilla note. Not hot/boozy. Not very complex, but concentrated and good at what it's doing.
Sweet and malty with plentiful coffee and vanilla. Lingering fudge on the end balances a growing roast acidity with peanut and succulent milk chocolate. Thick but comforting and drinkable texture. Barrel aging is not very apparent, which, I think, is best case scenario. Very nice.
