Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Toasted Coconut and Cinnamon.

Apple Brandy Benthic takes square aim at the barrel and how spirit residence before our time yields impact on these beers. Like Vanilla, Apple Brandy barrels are an overriding upside that aids every other facet into something more cohesive and different than without their presence. Coconut joins at average Benthic levels and Saigon Cinnamon makes an appearance at moderate levels for range without distraction. Fall fest cinnamon strudel, chocolate milk, warm McDonald’s apple pie in the paper sleeve, apple cider donuts, coconut sorbet.

Can shared round Dan and Megan’s. Thick slick pour. Sits ominous. Decent bitterness on top of rich chocolate and dark roast malt. Big barrel presence. Scary easy drinking just shy of being overly pastry.

Intense, roasty and heavy with loads of barrel, some vanilla, coconut, roasty coffee, cocoa and chocolate notes, oaky bourbon notes. Thick body, super complex and intense barrel overdose. Quite balanced and tasty. Great stuff
