The second barrel aged beer for our 2021-2022 Moksa Advocators is Barrel Aged Happy Almonds. This Imperial Stout began its journey as a barrel aging stout recipe that was laid to rest in Old Fitzgerald and George T. Stagg barrels for 20 months. We then treated the barrel aged liquid with 1 lb per gallon of coconut, 10 lbs per bbl of almonds, and .7 lbs per bbl of Congolese vanilla beans. Barrel aged candy bars do not exist, but if they did, this would be the liquid form of it.

2025 Batch! Sweet milk chocolate, Almond Joy candy bar, vanilla-coconut, and a balanced bourbon barrel boozy nose on this one! Taste follows with a smooth and viscous, liquid Almond Joy, bourbon barrel boozy finish. I am impressed that, even though this is definetly pastry, it has some really nice barrel notes on the backend! This is fantastic! And dare I say...is this better than Batch 1 (BA Joyous Almonds)!?

Poured on tap at Windsor in Anaheim. Pours black as night with almost no head. The nose is almonds, vanilla, chocolate, bourbon, dark fruit, and a bit of coconut. The taste is sweet chocolate, marshmallows, vanilla, bourbon, toffee, almonds, molasses, cherries, and coconut. Incredible. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. Overall, outstanding!
