On tap for TBBW 2021 “Sorta Rad” Event.
2020 Vintage. Thick Nutella bomb. Crazy adjuncts, with coconut more restrained but really coming out on the tail. Barrel is great, with a roasty bitterness and touch of oak on the palate; good heat on the finish. If you like hazelnut this will blow your mind.

Poured a black body with minimal head and no lace. Aroma is mostly hazelnut with some coffee and booze as well. Thick, sticky, a woody smoothness and large amounts of hazelnut in this beer give it a nutty taste and slick feel as well. Has a touch of lactic sweetness (assume the coconut making itself known) and there's a touch of coffee that allows the beer to be dry and maintain balance. A dry, slightly boozy finish complements beer and it is an easy sipper to relax with.

Having this after the Starry Noche just showed how rough this beer is. Excessively sweet, nearly undrinkably so. Lots of sweet chocolate syrup, coconut, hazelnut, but in a unrefined way. Moderate coffee but unfocused. Big and flabby mouthfeel. This is like Nutella, and not in a good way, while the starry Noche was an artisan version of the same.

First I need to offer up a disclaimer as I had this beer in 90+ degree humid outdoor setting. Not exactly the ideal conditions to enjoy a big adjunct stout. The beer has a very "nut" forward aroma. I thought it was peanut butter I was smelling at first until I saw the label said hazelnut. The taste is super sweet. Not really picking up the bourbon nor coffee that much but the butteriness of the coconut is present as/is sweet chocolate and the hazelnut. A very good big stout. I'm sure if I had this on a cold winter night, it would get a higher rating from me.

Drank 11/23/19 @ Golgi Apparatus.
Look, this is SWEET as hell...but if you like hazelnut & coffee, you're going to find a lot to like in this beer. I didn't get much coconut, but I wasn't complaining.

Was lucky to get to try this, it was really great. Hazelnut was the most prominent flavor, thick mouthfeel and the ABV didn't have a burn to it. Overall an excellent pastry stout and a nice intro for me to Angry Chair stouts.

This beer was a real eye opener, and that is meant both literally and figuratively. Share on 6-8-19. Pours Angry Chair black, and the hazelnut is very strong on the nose. The flavor profile is what really makes this beer killer in my opinion. All flavors are present and detectable on the palate, but also at different times of the tasting process. The hazelnut hits first, followed by coffee, that this fades into a coconut/barrel sweet finish. This beer really impressed me.

Absolutely perfect blending of the adjuncts. Mostly sweet, with hazelnut in front, coconut comes in next and then just the right amount of coffee. Feel is creamy and thick. Amazing

Angry Chair kills it with nuts, and the creamy hazelnut here is just as divine as in Fionn, which then swirls into slick chocolate syrup that seems to be made slightly sweeter by the barrel, adding a red fruit heat in the finish. The fresh coconut is herbal and softly toasted, more present here than the non-ba bottle I'd had prior, and the crisp, thin but bubbly carbonation somehow runs into a satisfyingly powder dry yet warming finish. Sweeeeeet! ...meant in three ways: in taste, how awesome it is overall, and that I actually got to try this, multiple times at that!
