This Imperial Stout was aged for a year in a small format Black Button Gin Barrel. Then we conditioned the beer on cookies. The flavors of cookies and the botanicals from the gin give us Thin Mint vibes.

This one pours a very dark black color, looks very thick. There’s a very small head, and not much lacing.
This smells like creamy milk chocolate with mint, like mint chocolate chip ice cream, with some floral sweetness, coffee, and vanilla.
A gin barrel aged stout with mint cookies is certainly something that would raise eyebrows. It feels like it could end up being really weird. Luckily, this ended up being a very unique take on a pastry stout. The mint is not toothpasty, as it so often can get – it’s sweet, creamy, and slightly herbal, and works well with the similar flavors from the gin barrel. There’s also oak, light citrus, milk chocolate, and vanilla like creaminess.
This is thick, creamy, and velvety, and stops just short of being syrupy.
This was a really unique and fun take on a pastry stout – I enjoyed it for sure.
