Barrel Aged Hunter Coconut
18th Street Brewery - Gary Taproom

 

 

 

 

Had on tap. The smell is amazingly full of all the elements of this beer: coconut, bourbon, dark chocolate, vanilla, malt, and gingerbread. The taste is more heavy on the coconut and bourbon with chocolate and others supporting. The feel is drier but still full. Really nice work here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apprarance - The beer was black with mocha colored bubbles crowning the glass.

Smell - The booze dominated the nose, but coconut was in the background.

Taste - At the front, the bourbon was most obvious. Coconut was masked for the most part. At the same time, I kept thinking of a Mounds bar soaked in bourbon. An almost fudgy chocolate made an appearance toward the back with the bourbon.

Mouthfeel - The coconut balances the burn of bourbon nicely in the mouthfeel. This stout is uniquely smooth.

Overall - I actually think I liked the non-barrel aged version better. Still, this is good.

Looked like most of the other BA beers at the BA Massacre at 18th street, motor oil black

This beer smelled just like last snowm heavy on the coconut

This beer wasn't as balanced as last snow, but still had loads of coconut in it and it wasn't overly sweet.

This beer lacked carb, knocking down my rating of this beer

Minus the carb, this beer is a mist tick, if it is on draft or bottled!
