A Note on This Beer

Do you know what the best kind of birthday party is? The kind where they give YOU a gift for even showing up.

Well, Wild Leap just turned 3 years old this September, and they didn’t just throw one big bash with one little gift for their fans. They turned the whole month into one long celebration and topped it off by brewing an ultra-limited birthday Stout! 

The fifth and final release in this exclusive anniversary series is today’s Birthday Month: Barrel Aged Cake & Ice Cream Stout. After unwrapping all its luscious layers of whiskey-laden chocolate cake flavor, I’m really not sure whether I’m celebrating their birthday or my own! 

To make this indulgent dessert beer, Wild Leap blended their Vanilla Ice Cream Stout aged in award-winning ASW whiskey barrels and a mouthwatering Cake Stout. Then, they tied an extra ribbon of silky lactose into the 10% ABV brew for even more cakey fluffiness. 

Every sip is like a slice of German chocolate cake layered with caramel coffee filling, and all slathered in decadently soft cream cheese frosting. And of course, with a hefty scoop of scotch vanilla ice cream on the side — it is a party after all!

And it’s a party that I don’t ever want to stop! But alas, all good things must eventually come to an end — once the last cans of Barrel Aged Cake & Ice Cream are gone, that’s lights-out on this birthday beer bash.

*USA Today named Wild Leap the Best New Brewery of 2019!

Barely any flavor. It finishes really quickly. It’s mainly a generic licorice and slightly dark fruit base with some bakers chocolate, lactose, and sugar

Flavor got better as it warmed up. Great boozy aromas. Was a bit more carbonated than I prefer for a stout. Also had a hint of a metallic flavor that was unpleasant.

Cake and cream flavor really come through if it isn’t cold. Light chill is way better

This was good and got better as it warmed. More barrel aged rather than cakey. Good body and flavor

Ooooooooooh.... creamy, smooth, and not an overly-bourbony brew. Like pouring melted ice cream into a killer stout. Great stuff! Good thing, as this was the one that lured me into this Tavour crate.

Birthday cake and ice cream and a beer sounds like a sweet, sticky mess. This isn't quite that but does have a fair amount of lactose sweetness and a booze that'll crack your front teeth if you're not careful

Oh man! Long story short. My brother In Law said SOY Sauce!! And guess what, that’s all I got. Very earthy umami, saltiness. Just like soy sauce. Discouraging. And specially since it was my birthday beer

A little surprised at lackluster reviews on here. This is a top-notch barrel stout. You really get the ice cream flavors with the aftertaste. Subtle barrel tinge throughout, mild sweetness and creamy mouthfeel.

Totally agree with the notion that the thick cake and ice cream flavors come out and get better as this brew warms.
