About This Beer
To make it, they bourbon barrel aged a velvety Stout base, infusing it with complex cask character. Then they finished it on a decadent blend of 3 different kinds of vanilla beans — Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and Tahitian
Tasting Notes
Opening the bottle unleashes enticing bakery aromas. Take a sip, and rich ribbons of roasted ‘nilla wake up the palate before sweet crème brûlée nuances flood through. The chocolatey backbone melds with the adjuncts like a soft-serve swirl, leading to white mocha deliciousness deepened by a kiss of whiskey oak.
