About This Beer
The Other Half crew and their pals at J. Wakefield created the luxuriously velvety Snowbird 6 by blending a mixture of Imperial Stouts aged in bourbon barrels for 10-21 months. Then they conditioned it on mountains of cacao nibs, coconut, and Marcona almonds.
Tasting Notes
Nuttier and more tropical than a flock of plastic flamingos, this brew begins like a coconut macaroon before gliding right into smooth tones of molten lava cake and a subtle amaretto finish. At 14% ABV, it’s not quite as boozy as a retiree in Margaritaville, but that’s a good thing, since it means you get to savor the barrel nuances in each full-bodied quaff.

A bit flat and syrupy and tastes like a liqour, but great flavor presentation with barrel influence.

flat, syrupy. I always have trouble enjoying a beer that has no fizz at all.

Not quite as boozy as a retiree at Margaritaville... but still pretty damn boozy. Honestly, was expecting a bit more coming from this solid collab. It's not terrible, just terribly average.
