Our latest pFriemsters exclusive beer was inspired by the classic French confection, the macaron. This rich imperial milk & oat stout was brewed with almond flour, French Réunion Island grown vanilla beans and aged for 10 months in bourbon barrels. The result is a silken elixir of heady vanilla, malted chocolate and sweet marzipan.

12.7oz bottled on 6-13-24, opened 5-11-25. 2nd bottle 11-14-25.
1 finger loose bubbled, beige head with good retention. Dark brown body. No lacing.
Almond, vanilla, and milk chocolate in the aroma with just a hint of boozy wood. Very nice.
Second bottle throws off toasted coconut.
Brown sugar, coconut, vanilla, dark fruit, wet wood, a nice symphony of sweet flavors...very well balanced and never gets cloying.
Medium plus body with low+ carbonation and a silky mouthfeel. Medium length and semi-sweet, flavorful finish.
Very Good.
