A Note on This Beer
According to VinePair, Florida’s Cycle Brewing has “always knocked it out of the park with its barrel-aged Imperial Stouts!”
Culture Trip says they’re One of the 10 Best Breweries in Florida. And, judging by the long list of their decadent Stouts with 4+ ratings on Tavour, you guys love this crew, too!
So, when we had the opportunity to snag a brand new single-adjunct Stout from the brewery’s Cuvee Series, we jumped on it.
To create Just Almonds, the Cycle crew took their 4.33-rated Rare Dos Stout and aged it in Bourbon barrels for over 20 months!
Slivered almonds in the barrel lend a bright nuttiness and a bit of earthy complexity that balances beautifully against notes of whiskey caramel and oaky vanilla. It’s like the beer equivalent of a dark chocolate Hershey’s Kiss with almond — if they made a bourbon version, that is.
With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!
