Our visit from The Answer Brewpub last winter yielded an exceptional friendship (and beer) along with the connection to receive hyper fresh Smooth Ambler wheated bourbon barrels. Upon arrival, the saturated vessels filled the air with sweet caramel char and fresh cinnamon warmth. We quickly put down a small amount of our collaboration onto the oak to rest for exactly a year. After emerging, we created a chocolate reduction from Ghanan and Ecuadorian cacao nibs, French artisan chocolates and plump Tahitian vanilla. The barrel blend conditioned for an extended amount of time on this house-made creation to produce an offering of true decadence and palette-coating voluptuous chocolate. Indulge with us as layers of pastry magic hide a hefty 13% ABV.

There is such a thing as too much. Excess for it's own sake ceases ro be appealing at a certain point t, and rhis beer is proof. Super vanilla, super sweet, super bourbony, and most distressing, super cake like. Now I love cake, I'd eat it 3 meals a day if I could, but this is excessive. Still, marks to them for nailing the super adjunct heavy flavor profile. Even just the ounce I had was a chore.
