This outlandishly delicious beer is the result of a 50/50 blend of Monsters’ Park and Modem Tones, both aged for 7 months in bourbon barrels which had previously housed maple syrup. Following the blend, the beer was conditioned on freshly-roasted coffee beans, toasted coconut, and a whole lot of vanilla. When it was all over, what arose was a dessert-laden beverage of the highest order, with flavors and aromas of tiramisu, coffee, chocolate, and roasted marshmallows.

My expectations were high beforehand but this stout made it all come true and a bit more.
Flavors of warm chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, bacon and maple syrup all in perfect harmony with each other.

Backlog I’m filling in from Untappd. 7/9/22.
Smooth and thick mouthfeel. Black, no head, sticky. Sweet but reasonably balanced with rich coconut layers and floral vanilla.

This is everything I thought it could be and oh so much more. Chocolate dominates the nose and palate for me, with smooth bourbon, natural vanilla, rich coconut, and fudge. The mouthfeel is exactly what I expect from MT - positively scrumptious.

2022 version poured from a 22oz bottle into a snifter at Ansari's Eagan, MN with Josh. Excellent viscosity and great maple and coffee flavor.
