36 month Barrel-Aged Pastry Stout w/marshmallow, maple, cinnamon, and coffee.
This stout has sat patiently for three years. We thought and over thought about how to compliment the barrel and we couldn't get over the breakfast theme. We concluded that this should incorporate everything we loved about breakfast as kids and now adults. Coffee. Maple (pancakes). Cinnamon and marshmallow (cereal).
Beer: It's what's for breakfast.

The barrel is pretty light here; 36 months in bourbon barrels with nothing to show for it. Yet this is actually really tasty pastry stout; didn't expect this to be as good as it is... So were off to a great start over exceeding expectations.
It's definitely really sweet. Marshmallows and vanilla lead the way. Cinnamon and maple in the middle and continue on through the finish giving off french toast / doughnut flavor vibes. Maybe a hint of stale coffee here but the sweetness seems to cover it up which is probably for the best honestly. Thick body with low carbonation levels. Not boozy at all.
Because of the richness and sweetness of this beer I feel like 3 to 4ozs is all I want.
