Last year we brewed Evil Spread with our friend Jeppe of Evil Twin Brewing. We aged a portion of that beer in Bli's Gourmet Maple Bourbon barrels for a year. We then conditioned Evil Spread on cacao nibs, toasted hazelnuts and vanilla bean. This is a decadent tray that makes more sense as a dessert than part of breakfast, like it's hazelnut spread inspiration.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is full of dark chocolate notes with some light roast. Light maple and faint vanilla and hazelnuts. Light bourbon and light alcohol spice and oak. Pours black with a small, thinnish, dark mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers in clumps. No lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is rather sweet with lots of chocolate notes. Light roast. Moderate vanilla with light maple and hazelnut notes. Medium bitterness. Light bourbon notes with light oak and medium light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is full bodied and a bit sticky with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice dessert stout. Lots of chocolate notes with lighter hazelnut and vanilla. Maple is present but background.
