Imperial stout with macaroon coconut, Tahitian vanilla and marshmallow creme.
Relapse. We are but haggard shepherds, who have lost our flock. We stared straight into the pits of utter emptiness and it took hold. And this highway of decimation is our only carriage. The newest maniacal darkness starts with a 6-hour boil of our classic 15% stout base, made from barley and oats. Forged with a small helping of lactose and dark candy sugars, this stout meets our heaviest doses of macaroon coconut and Tahitian vanilla beans, ever. This viscous foray into the void is rife with warm nougat, handfuls of mallow cups, melty smores squares, and sipping on cream of coconut.

Released 8/26/20; drank 9/6/20 @ the Yarchives.
Black appearance.
An even pour yielded a small tan head; nice lace. Wow, this smells like a macaroon, with chocolate & mild vanilla notes in the nose too.
Thick, creamy mouthfeel.
Milk chocolate & marshmallow flavors up front; dry macaroon notes on the finish. The booze heat is very well hidden.
Not sure how they nailed the macaroon smell & flavor here; it's uncanny. For those with a sweet tooth, you'll find much to appreciate here.
