Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Vanilla + Coffee Stout • We had no real intention of ever bottling #FOMO -- it felt like we'd be undercutting the name and philosophy. But during the peak of the pandemic, we'd been tasting some fascinating casks and hollered at Mike Arquines, who helped us find a great bean blend with the Mostra Coffee team. We bottled what had only ever been a draft-exclusive release accompaniment as a little spark of joy during a pretty bleak time and called it a golden anomaly.

Two years later, we're on the receiving end of the FOMO feels when Mike calls with wildly rare access to the sister lot of Bambito Estate's "Avalanche of Flavor," the Best of Panama-winning, $1,502/lb at auction, Panama Geisha coffee beans. We had to have it, and this year's batter-rich Fundamental base was deemed the worthiest of destinations.

Aromas on FOMO+ are unmistakably coffee-rich; sparkling with the celebrated honeysuckle, peach, and bergamot nuances of these extraordinary beans. There's a gentle, balanced acidity to the palate of Panama Geisha coffee, and steeping it on our Madagascar vanilla bean-soaked Imperial Stout opens swirling portals of caramelly nougat, chocolate milkshakes, and whiffs of nutmeg. It's transportive in every way.

This coffee is rare and hyper-delicate. If you're lucky enough to secure a bottle of FOMO+, please store it cold and open it soon with people you cherish. Don't miss out on the magic of how this beer drinks right now.

Midnight black stout pour with a brown head. Nose is a vanilla bomb with coffee and chocolate right behind with a whisper of molasses. Taste also features huge vanilla with coffee right there as it warms, not much else though as the supporting notes of chocolate, earth and mild fruitiness on the finish are tiny. Feel is lush with plenty of malt base, coffee textures and decent warmth. A very well made coffee and vanilla stout

Poured at fridge temp but allowed this to warm for 10 minutes or so before trying. Pours a viscous black with about an inch of brown head. Lovely looking beer! The nose is fantastic. Vanilla pounds hard right away, but the coffee and chocolate follow quickly. The coffee note is so smooth. After the chocolate, there is some marshmallow, bourbon, graham crackers, and slight maple.

The taste is wonderful. Tons of vanilla, creamy chocolate, freshly roasted coffee, brown sugar, maple, a touch of honey sweetness, and cupcakes. Some dark fruits - mostly raisins, and a hint of roasted malts. Just a fantastic amalgamation of flavors.

The mouthfeel is thick and creamy, and the aftertaste is a toffee/vanilla/chocolate/bourbon combo.

Sweet chocolate malty, balanced roasty coffee, vanilla, and a bourbon barrel nose on this one! Taste follows with a chocolate brownie, creamy vanilla, coffee bean roasty, and a subtle bourbon boozy finish. As it warms, a little more chocolate and coffee roasty bitterness comes out...this out competes the vanilla notes on the backend IMO. Still tasty!
