Barrel Aged Imperial Porter

Our imperial porter has rested in barrels patiently, waiting for a grand unveiling. We meticulously layered this silky delight with desiccated fresh coconut, mountains of toasted coconut, roasted Ugandan cocoa nibs, Madagascar vanilla beans, and wood-fired cinnamon sticks from Vera Cruz, Mexico. We hope you enjoy our release of Barrel-Aged Pudding Goggles.

Typically gorgeous black Forager 750ML bottle with golden goggles on the front; picked up from the brewery yesterday & split with my wife tonight.

Lightless black with a head that collapses into nothingness by the time the second glass is poured. It does have flecks of coconut floating on the top, which I always like. The nose brings brown sugar, vanilla, sweets, & mild booziness.

Puddling Goggles – Barrel Aged scarcely resembles the base beer I’ve had a few times. Still decadently rich & full, but the cinnamon is MIA (OK by me). Bourbon is quiet but present, leaking pleasantly into the folds of the palate backed by a big hit of sweetness, mostly vanilla, likely malt & cocoa as well, but less distinguishable. Towering over all of this & wound into it is coconut & more coconut. Pure, beautiful, coconut. This might be too sweet to drink an entire bomber of by myself, but I might take a bit of gum peeling to try.

Forager continues to have one of the best barrel-aged programs in the U.S. (though I wish they weren’t so aware of it – see the prices). The is a top-level, fantastic brew.

2023 bottle. Tan head. Thick, black color.

Cinnamon, fudge, coconut, brownies, charred barrel, oak, bourbon, vanilla. Cake batter.

This is thick, rich, dessert like, but fantastic.
