Barrel Aged Space Cuvée started with an overnight triple mash boil before being aged in a singular Weller barrel for 34 months. Following its time in oak, we added a cuvée of vanillas, all with unique origins grown in a total of 30 different parts of the world. Along with this magical mix of vanilla, we also added vanilla granola and caramel toasted coconut to round things out.

I don’t buy much Equilibrium barreled up stouts because of the obnoxious prices, but occasionally I have a lapse in judgment. Witness this 500ML bottle.
It’s beautiful with stylish blue wax dripping all the way to the bottom, tempered by the copious rust under the black cap. Beer is black too. Initially no head, then it mushrooms, & is gone five minutes later. Odd. It has coconut floaties – always turns me on. Crazy vanilla on the nose.
Barrel Aged Space Cuvee is the thicc granddaddy of the pastry movement. Holy balls. The first, & subsequent, sips ooze down the throat; I dare not take a healthy swig. It might be too much. There is vanilla, there is coconut, there is the whisper of barrel, but it’s hard to take notice of any of it while almost being choked every time I tilt the glass. Four ounces in – finished.
Remember the IBU wars of a decade ago? This is the pinnacle of the pastry stout wars & just like the previous struggle, here’s a prime example of going too far. Like, Pluto too far. Not a good beer.
