Cocoa Vanilla Evasion is a 500 bottle small batch variant of our imperial Belgian stout aged on bourbon barrels. A blend of classic roasted malts, flavorful Belgian artisan malts and dark candi sugar create this rich and full bodied stout. This variant has more than twice the amount Indonesian vanilla beans and was aged with cocoa nibs providing additional lays of complexity and accenting the alcoholic effervescence. Conditioning in fresh Kentucky bourbon whiskey barrels contributes to the robust and complex finish. At 14.5% ABV, be sure to savor the experience.

Bottle, shared by Dank. Pours black, with a small, tan head. The nose is strong vanilla, bourbon, piney hops, molasses, and cocoa. Very sweet, with not much roastiness or bitterness. Heavy body, with a syrupy, slick, and piquant feel. Really nice.

Sample at the Rhinegeist Rare Beer Fest 10/28/2017. Brown-black color with a medium tan head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Patchy lacing. Aroma of oak, vanilla, malt and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, chocolate malt, yeast and vanilla. The finish is oaky vanilla and cocoa. Good beer overall.
