A Note on This Beer

Whether you’re a serious rare beer collector, or a casual fan looking for a bottle to elevate an already special night, VIP access to Firestone Walker’s cellar is quite the perk!

For any beer lover who wants to add a special bottle to their own cellar, there’s Mole Merkin Imperial Oatmeal Stout (2019). 

This 100% Four Roses Bourbon Barrel-aged Milk Stout is replete with flavors of rich, Mexican dark chocolate from real cocoa nibs and cinnamon, creamy lactose, and roasty coffee. And, after a year in the brewery’s 40-degree Fahrenheit temperature-controlled cellar, it’s even smoother, richer, and fudgier than it was on release. You’ll discover new flavors of spiced hot cocoa and a whisper of heat from authentic Puya chile peppers .

What’s more, Firestone Walker carefully crafts their Barrel-Aged Stouts so they can age up to 10 years, becoming more complex with each passing day. 

Open Mole Merkin 2019 now to toast a milestone, or stash one away for a celebration down the line. Either way, it will make a memorable day that much more special.

*If you would like to cellar it for an additional period, the brewery recommends a MAXIMUM of 55 degrees for long-term storage.

Firestone Walker has been crafting Bourbon Barrel-Aged beers for over 14 years. Their barrel program alone has won more awards than most breweries have in total!

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Firestone Walker Brewing Company is certified independent by the Brewers Association

More chocolate milk than hot chocolate. This extremely drinkable brew features a balanced sweetness supported by a subtle spice with no detectable heat.

Downright smooth. Perfect blend of all the flavors with an emphasis of vanilla with a touch of spice.

Light bodied with pleasant lingering finish. Not much chili pepper bite but the sweetness does come through.

This is actually pretty good the second time around. Still not sure why it needs a box.

Little disappointed in this one. Barrel flavor and notes were most apparent flavor and decent. Cinnamon and chili pepper were so subtle or not even there. Maybe these just disappeared with age and it was just too long?

Strong cocoa nibs. Definitely getting the chocolate milk vibe, but disappointing that the chili pepper and cinnamon doesn’t come through

This was a different beer with hints of spice and chocolatey notes. Not what I was expecting, good beer! I just feel it has so much more potential.

Very Tasty! You definitely get the cocoa nibs and the bourbon. It has a thicker mouth feel. We didn't really taste the chili pepper or cinnamon-hence the 3.5. Overall, though, a delicious milk stout.

Not really a huge fan but at least it's a proper dark beer.

Felt lighter in body than I expected. A good beer, but missing the chili pepper. Oh so close to being a fantastic beer
