Double barrel-aged imperial stout with toasted coconut, macadamia nuts, and pineapple

Call it a long weekend, put on your sunglasses, and take a sip. We took our bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout, Aloha Friday, double barrel-aged it for added complexity and richness, and added even more tropical flavor with fresh pineapple, as well as perfectly-toasted coconut and macadamia nuts. Full-bodied and warm, this island-paradise-in-a-bottle is smooth, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet. After all, it’s Aloha Friday— there’s no work till Monday. Ke aloha!

Bottle, 750 ml shared with Marko, Miro, MiroB, Eric. Black with beige head. Quite fruity, chocolate, warming, some cherries, tropical fruit, on the sweeter side. Interesting and surprisingly good combo.

Bottle pours jet black with a tiny ring of bubbles. The aroma offers up chocolate fudge that's quickly swallowed whole by a firm level of booziness. Another pull brings up a flurry of vanilla goodness. The taste delivers smooth slick rich chocolate and German chocolate cake and dark chocolate fudge drizzled liberally with vanilla. Just as the chocolate and vanilla depth begins to take hold a double overhead wave of booziness sweeps in creating balance and a boozy warmth all around you. I'm digging the bigness of this. How could this be a better sipper? Unknown. Oddly the label states none of the notes I'm picking up on.

On tap. Pours a jet black hue with almost no head. Big crazy nose, chocolate, vanilla, clear pineapple. Huge coconut cuts through everything, very sweet, syrup like at times, pineapple. I liked it more and more as I tried it. Insane.
