Stout Blend Aged in Maple, Bourbon, and Domestic Brandy Barrels with Coconut, Coffee, and Vanilla added

We reworked our well-loved MFAY a bit, keeping the bones the same: Mega Devil’s Teeth aged for 3 years in Bourbon Barrels, Modem Tones aged for 2.5 years in Maple Syrup and Domestic Brandy Barrels, and Monsters’ Park aged in Domestic Brandy Barrels. We added equal amounts of Toasted and Untoasted Coconut, Madagascar Vanilla Beans, and Idea Machine Medium Roast Coffee beans. These barrels create such a unique harmony for the adjuncts to float on. The brandy especially added a great, almost dark fruit note.

Rated at Platinum Beer Lounge - Viikki Branch HQ. Sweetish and slightly roasty with some cocoa, vanilla, coffee, chocolate and nutty notes, hints of brandy and bourbon. Pretty nice pastry stout
