Hype Barrel Racks was a SoPro Taproom-only limited release on Black Friday 2021 on draft and in 16.9-oz. bottles, red-waxed top embossed with logo, "SPB • EST • 2013." Had poured from like 16.9-oz. bottle into snifter.
Pours absolutely black with 1/2-finger fizzing tan head, which as expected for a barrel-aged beer quickly dissipates to a very thin ring and partial film, which themselves soon go away, leaving at best a few specks of lace. Aroma of caramel and mild roasted coffee off pour, followed immediately by whiskey/alcohol, and then sweet vanilla, and finally chocolate cake, with the caramel and cake continuing. Begins smooth, sweet vanilla, then a little whiskey, and some mild roast coffee and unroasted, chocolate cake-like malts, before sweet caramel joins, all leading into a slightly fruity and a bit warming alcohol finish.
Big, balanced, complicated, tasty chocolate cake stout, without the icing.
