The last time we snagged a stash of Madagascar Imperial Stout you all rated it 4.40 on Tavour! And you called it “excellent,” with a “great bourbon and vanilla aroma.” 

But here’s the thing — while we’ve had multiple variants of this delectable brew (all of which have earned massive ratings), we haven’t seen the OG in YEARS! Which is why we’re so stoked to finally give you all another chance on the beer that built 4 Hands’ reputation as Pastry Stout masters!

Like the name implies, this beer is all about those top quality Madagascar vanilla beans. That’s how the brewers add layers of soft serve-like creaminess to their Milk Stout base. And a long slumber in bourbon barrels creates nuances of caramel, oak, and toffee that blend beautifully with fudgy notes of chocolate malt.

Should you add a big scoop of ice cream to your pint glass and enjoy it as a float? We wouldn't blame you one bit! But if you’re more of a purist, we recommend sipping it slowly as a sumptuous dessert after your favorite meal.
