Chaos 2017's roots come from our second Side Note release, Gimme Samoa. We took roasted cocoa nibs, toasted coconut and Saigon cinnamon and aged it in our imperial stout, only after aging the imperial stout in freshly dumped bourbon barrels for 9 months. This complex, sweet, roasty imperial stout will change with time. Drink it fresh or store it cool in your cellar to experience the change of Chaos. Cheers!

So, prop 14 with more coconut. Pitch black color. Nose is a nice blend of coconut and cinnamon. Taste is more cinnamon, hint of sweetness and barrel. Feel is full, thick and hearty. Fantastic beer.

2017 vintage; drank 7/15/17 @ Golgi Apparatus.

Black/brown appearance. Minimal tan head; minimal lace.

Milk chocolate, caramel, cinnamon & coconut notes in the nose.

Thick, sticky mouthfeel.

Coconut, milk chocolate & cinnamon flavors up front; dry pumpkin notes on the finish. No booze heat.

An excellent, balanced take on the "pastry" stout.

Slick black with thin, burnt dark brown edges and a minimal mocha ring.

Smell is toasted coconut, coffee, chocolate, maple, cola, nut, bourbon and cinnamon. That's a lot of distinct notes all in one.

Taste is roasty with chocolate, cinnamon, sweet coconut, coconut bourbon, vanilla bean bourbon, so, needless to say it's hot, but nice, with a medium body and very dry finish. A smokiness arise as it warms.
