Imperial Stout aged in Knob Creek 10yr, Henry McKenna 10yr, and Old Fitzgerald 19yr barrels w/ Coffee, Cacao Nibs & Vanilla Beans.
The Moksa Barrel House is turning two, and to celebrate we've put together a barrel aged stout featuring the Barrel House’s signature coffee blend from Mostra Coffee, alongside Ghanian cacao nibs and Brazilian and Australian vanilla beans.
For this blend we started with a blend of three bourbon barrels. Knob Creek 10yr and Henry McKenna 10yr barrels bring a warming, spirit-forward kick with notes of vanilla and subtle dark fruit. For the third barrel we selected an Old Fitzgerald 19yr barrel, which brings tons of deep woody spice and a hint of smokiness to the blend.
Rich, nutty coffee and dark chocolate dominate the aroma. A huge vanilla presence rounding out the mid palate, but the rest of the story is all about the bourbon, transitioning into a long warming finish.

Sweet milk chocolate, creamy vanilla, morning coffee roast, and a balanced bourbon barrel nose on this one! Taste follows exactly with a soft and smooth bourbon barrel finish. The coffee and vanilla play together well with a mocha vibe at the end of the swallow. This works pretty well with how balanced the barrels are on the backend. Good stuff!
