This is one of the best BBA Vanilla Stout i’ve tasted. I thought it was better than FO and BCBS vanilla Stout by Goose Island.
This is a thick, chewy, stout that tastes like sweet vanilla, caramel, brownie batter.
I’m glad I bought a 32oz crowler before Toolbox closed their doors. I’m gonig to let that age a couple of years before opening it up.

This is legit a poor man's Fundamental Forces. The barrel and alcohol burn are a littler harder to find than FF, but that just makes it's incredibly drinkable. Scary drinkable. It pours super dark, with a brown head. Smells like vanilla brownie batter, with some slight heat from the barrel. Taste is super smooth, with deep vanilla and chocolate flavor. It's silky smooth, and absolutely coats your mouth. Fantastic beer!!
