Bounteous is an Imperial Stout aged in Pikesville Rye and Weller 12 barrels for 15 months, then treated with Raw and Toasted Coconut, Comoros Vanilla Beans, and Candy Cap Mushrooms. The rare mushrooms used in this are incredibly potent with maple-like characteristics.

Deep, viscous pour; pitch black in glass. Minimal carbonation that rises up. Small coconut floaties dance around in the glass.
Caramel and vanilla open up the nose right away. Over-baked fudge brownies and toasty, boozy oak staves follow up with time and temp. Really fantastic balance of adjuncts and barrel on the aromatics.
The palate really features the barrels and those candy cap mushrooms. While I haven't ever had candy caps on their own, they're known to impart strong notes of maple syrup, caramelized sugar, and malt, and that profile of flavors works perfectly with high-gravity, barrel-aged beer. The rye really comes through, bringing a great spicy kick to balance contrasting notes of baking chocolate, maple syrup, and coconut candy.
The mouthfeel is great; medium-full with a coating of the palate without feeling too syrupy. Carbonation is low but present, and the booze and warmth is alarmingly low for a 13.5% stout.
