looking for Barrel Aged Vanilla Stouts

Probably just easier to make your own. Take 1 BCBS '12. Add a drop of pure vanilla extract. Sip. Pocket the $80 you otherwise would have had to shell out to get a BCBVS.

 

Last years Karl Strauss Anniversary beer was quite nice.

 

Its not a stout but victory at sea is very good.

 

Sounds like a plan.

 

I *may* have done this before. Several times.

 

No lie. I've tried similar things to re-create certain stouts.

Any ideas for a mint chocolate stout? My attempt was a total f**ckin fail.

 

Mint oil in a Youngs Double Chocolate stout?? or pick some spearmint leaves and mash them in?

 

Do you stir, thumb the bottle top and hold the beer upside-down, or something else to mix the vanilla in? I'm going to try this.

 

We had the DuClaw BA Cocoa Vanilla Retribution this weekend that was really tasty. Not sure how available it is though.

 

I'm gonna have to try this! Maybe not tonight cuz I gotta go drink KBS on tap. Texas is long over due! lol
I'll report back tomorrow night when I give it a try though!

 

This.

 

If I follow what some people are saying on here, I could take my regular BCBS 12', put in coffee grounds, cherry, and vanilla and I would have a BCBVCVS.

 

only if you strained the coffee grounds out before you drank it.

 

I put a single drop into the bottle, then poured the bottle into a snifter. That gave it a nice mix. But I'm sure either method would work.

 

That seems safer than treating it like a Corona with a lime. Thanks for the tip.

 

just put the cap back on after you add the vanilla or add it while its in your glass and stir with a spoon not sure why youd stick your fingers in your beer

 

When you put it like that...yeah, maybe just do it my way. haha!

 

Havent tried it (have one waiting to try) but Maine Beer Co's Mean Old Tom is aged on vanilla beans. Not barrel aged to my knowledge, but vanilla none the less.
