Collaboration with Omnipollo
Cacao nibs, vanilla, home made caramel sauce, potato chips, pretzels, Corn Flakes™, Cookie Crisp™, Cinnamon Toast Crunch™, Golden Grahams™, Cocoa Puffs™, coffee, oats and milk sugar. What we got was an Imperial Stout packed with melange of cereal flavors, strong vanilla and caramel notes and an awesome salinity from the potato chips and pretzels. In other words, a garbage cookie in stout form.

bottle to snifter.
LOOK: thick , black , medium head, fades. poor retention
AROMA: Chocolate and coffee and grains, aroma is the best attribute,
TASTE: general cereal, cocoa, caramel comes in late and very strong. If any of the snacky items listed shows up, its the golden grahams. Gets more sickeningly sweet as it goes.
FEEL: flat, flatter as it warms. thick and full body.

This one pours a very dark black color, with a nice fluffy head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells like chocolate-covered caramel, maple, brown sugar, salty snacks, Golden Grahams, chocolate milk, and roasted malt.
This probably has the most added flavorings of any beer I've ever had. I don't get all of them. The only cereal I actually get is Golden Grahams, but maybe the sweet chocolate milky flavors I'm getting are the Cocoa Puffs. There's a touch of salinity, either from the pretzels or the potato chips. I don't get specific flavors from either of them, other than the touch of salt. There's a ton of caramel here - it's the added flavoring that comes through the most. There's not much overt coffee, but there's a bit of vanilla, and definitely some maple and brown sugar, even though they are not directly added.
This is sweet and creamy, with a nice rich mouthfeel, and surprising level of drinkability for the ABV and intensity of flavor.
This is patently absurd. It's very tasty, and I don't get all of the dozens of things added to this. I can't imagine much of each cereal was actually added.

Great collaboration brew. Pours black with tastes of cacao, vanilla, caramel, cookie, and breakfast cereal. Good sweetness with the milk sugar, and well balanced and amazing taste. The best stout of the night!
