About This Beer
Imagine a velvety, dark chocolate mocha with golden swirls of caramel. Now imagine the same mocha seeped in bourbon. Mouthwatering nuances of brown sugar, whiskey vanilla, and spiced oak rise from the coffee depths. Now you have a decent idea what’s in store with this stunner.
Tasting Notes
The Rhinegeist crew started with a rich Stout brimming with cocoa notes. Then, they infused it with local coffee for opulent café accents. Finally, they aged it for a year in bourbon barrels from their neighbors at New Riff Distilling, mellowing the espresso nuances and marrying the flavors in whiskey oak.

Vanilla, barrel, dark chocolate, semi sweet chocolate, with a hint of coffee. Expected more of a coffee character, but a very well made beer.

Thinner than I had hoped. Feels like it needs more chocolate or coffee, or both. The 13% heat is masked very well.
