Barrel-aged Imperial Stout aged for 18 months for the perfect bourbon character, then conditioned on mounds of toasted coconut and peanut butter.

2024 vintage; consumed on 3/17/2025

Pours an immense, motor-oil black body as a tepid stream of dark khaki sudsing forms briefly at the surface, fading expeditiously to blankness while modest, transparent legs trickle down the walls of the glass.

Aroma features subtly toasted coconut meeting creamy peanut butter, as dark chocolate residuals settle into subdued waves of bourbon underscoring.

Taste opens to silky peanut butter lurking beneath coconut husk predominance and milk chocolate edges; barrel char and fresh flaked coconut evolve through the mid-palate, trending increasingly silky into as a clean transition to gentle roast prevails on the back end of the profile.

Mouthfeel shows a full body and minimal carbonation, exceedingly creamy yet balanced with a soft char and subtle stickiness lingering.

A clean interplay of peanut butter and coconut carries a straightforward profile, somewhat lacking in barrel yet carried forth by a fuller formed indulgence.
