For batch fifteen of our collab series, we’ve teamed up with our friends from Burial Beer Co to create a decadent eleven percent pastry inspired stout. Conditioned on heaps of toasted pecans, dark raisins, cinnamon, and Madagascar & Tahitian vanilla beans, each sip is bold and luscious that brings forth visions of rich, layered sticky buns!

Pours a matte-black body with chestnut-brown accents and capped with a half-finger of creamy, khaki-hued foam; decent head retention leaves an inconsistent, paper-thin cap, a thin yet robustly frothy collar, and a generous display of webby lacing spread across the walls of the glass.
Aromas of sweet raisin overwhelm as accents of vanilla evolve with cinnamon edges over time and a light, charry cacao hangs steadily in the backdrop.
Taste highlights pecan pie crust and a fresh vanilla bean progression, with a continued edge of cinnamon over the mid-palate meeting charry cocoa on the back end as sweet pecan reemerges to resound through the finish.
Mouthfeel shows a medium-light body and lower-end carbonation; a choppy thinning through the mid-palate cuts an otherwise slick texture before allowing a mild char and warmth through the back end.
Saccharine bursts provide a one-note, largely messy amalgam of raisin bread and pecan pie inflection; the adjuncts here are both wavering and overpowering to the stout base, providing enjoyable sweetness with little direction.
