Quiet Giant - Barrel-Aged - Coconut And Cinnamon
Imperial Oak Brewing

12 ounce can into a snifter. Released 6/1/19, had 3/27/20. Also had on tap a few times.

Pours near black, mostly opaque, with a half inch foamy head and soapy lacing. Aromas of bourbon, roasted malt, char, cinnamon, oak, vanilla, raisins, some coconut, light tobacco. The flavor follows along- bourbon, roasted malt, char, oak, cinnamon, vanilla, some coconut, some tobacco. Smooth, a solid full body, well carbonated.

Another outstanding variant from 2019. The cinnamon shows well, the coconut is more subtle. Great barrels that give off lots of oak and char in this one. Great aromas and flavors. Very enjoyable.

 

 

Had on tap. Have to agree with my wife, who immediately exclaimed "smells like rumchata". Indeed the coocnut, cinnamon, and vanilla dominate the nose, a winning combo in our book. Taste is oozing with these flavors, and are met with bourbon, chocolate, and faint raisin. Feel is smooth, but has textures from the cinnamon, a touch thin, but no cloying from sweetness. Goes down scarily easy for 14%. The wife loved it
