Collaboration with J. Wakefield Brewing
We took our original J. Wakefield collaboration Affogato Imperial Stout and aged it in bourbon barrels for 6 months at our Hudson Road barrel house. Affogato Imperial Stout is inspired by a few of our brewers' favorite summertime pick-me-up (& cool-me-down) Barrington's affogato.
Barrel Aged Affogato Imperial Stout is decadent, rich and full. Brewed with a blend of Barrington & Mostra beans, Affogato leads with aromas of vanilla, toasted marshmallows and subtle notes of bourbon. Barrel Aged Affogato has a full, satisfying body and an indulgent palate of vanilla cream, hot cocoa, rich brownie batter, with complimentary doses of smooth coffee and bourbon.
MALT: American 2-Row Barley, Crystal 120, Flaked Oats, Black Malt, Chocolate Malt, Munich Malt, White Wheat Malt, Brown Sugar, Dark Candied Syrup, Lactose
HOPS, ETC: Columbus, Barrington and Mostra Coffees, Madagascar Vanilla Beans

2021 version poured into a KBBS tulip glass. There was less coffee and more sweetness in this than I had hoped or anticipated. Not particularly thick.

02.17.23 - Had the original BA Affogato tonight from 2018 that I'd been aging - fucking awesome, better than a 4.5 across the board but going to keep these ratings as that was a one and done, whereas the new 500 ml bottle might be re-released and while still great, isn't what the original one bottle per person, wait in the line at the original Trillium on Congress Street was...glad to be part of that.

Thin and overrated. Most of Trillium's barrel-aged stouts taste the same. This one uses the same base stout as all of the others and tries to cover up the flaws with lots of sugar.
