If drinking a candy bar is your thing then Homes and Southern Grist have just the thing for you. An extended aged bourbon barrel stout with vanilla, coconut and cocoa is proof that you can have your candy and drink it too.
Oily, black and viscous, Nucleate pours like spent motor oil right down to it's cling of the glass and loss of foam. But it's sultry scent of espresso laced chocolate, coconut, caramel and vanilla soothe the senses with the delight of pastry shops and coffee houses. Sweet, candied and lavishly malted, the early palate is chocked full of toffee, coconut cream, dark chocolate and nougat all ahead of chocolate covered espresso bean, bourbon, char and smokey embers. With no bitterness in sight, the session is richly textured like cake mix in a slow and sipping affair.
Full bodied, cloyingly sweet and delightfully complex, it's enough to ask to lick the beaters as soon as the session concludes.
