Our Imperial Stout collaboration with our friends from The Seed, aged for 24 months in a blend of Old Fitzgerald and Saz Rye barrels before being conditioned on maple syrup, cinnamon and Pegasing Sumatra Coffee from our friends at Mostra.

This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a very small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like bittersweet maple, milk chocolate creamy vanilla, vibrantly roasty coffee, and brown sugar.
Timber tends to be strongest on no adjunct barrel aged beers, but they also can fairly well knock it out of the park on pastry. Coffee and maple can get overwhelmingly sweet, but that’s not the case here, luckily. The maple is rich, dark, and bittersweet, adding silkiness but not a cloying sugary character. The coffee presents vibrantly, adding brown sugar and caramel, with lots of milk chocolate, and a nice clean roastiness. The cinnamon is very mild on this one, which is always going to be my preference. There’s also some oak, and a nice spicy bourbon character.
This is medium bodied, silky, and clean, with not a ton of booziness.
This is absolutely one of the best adjuncted stouts that Timber has done so far.
