Beer Geek Vanilla Shake Barrel Aged Bourbon

Stout - Imperial / Double Oatmeal

In the beer geek breakfast series – the beer that really put Mikkeller on the map, we decided to shake things up by adding a truck load of vanilla to the french press coffee trick, creating a whole new dimension to the beer that are loved by freaks and geeks worldwide. Not only that, we then placed it in bourbon barrels for 8 months for a truly unique beer experience. Aromas are sweet filled with vanilla. Palate starts with milky sweetness and offers roasted malts, chocolate and coffee.

What a pleasure to have this gem of a beer again. Why can’t they make this shit anymore. Fucking brilliant whiskey barrel. Vanilla subdued but still shows it’s presence. Incredibly adult and smooth.

(4.4) 2016 vintage, pink label. Sweet molasses, bourbon, oak, lovely and lightly milky vanilla flavors that are still going pretty strong (wow!), dark stone fruits suggesting mostly figs and plums, along with a light tartness, followed by moderately...

Bourbon, vanilj och choklad. Exakt vad man förväntar sig inte allt för söt heller som andra varianter av den här.

Buena imperial stout, de perfil ligeramente alcohólico y con una barrica bastante dominante pero igualmente rica. Café, vainilla y punto de chocolate. Ligero licor.

Outstanding. Luscious chocolate, fudge, creamy vanilla, mellow boozy warmth, roast, raisin, toasted marshmallow. It’s a 2016 vintage and has aged quite nicely.

Når det er 16 år siden forrige FA-Cup seier, hvorfor ikke feire med en av flaskene som har overlevd lengst i kjøleskapet? Awesome beer.

Unglaublich intensiv vanillig und schokoladig. Kakao. Dazu kräftige Whiskey Noten, cremig. Schöne röstnoten mit Kaffee. Könnte etwas buttriger sein. Ansonsten ein einziger Traum.

Boozy aromas. No trace of vanilla. Chocolate and sweet start that finishes with licorice and coffee bitterness. Not bad but I expected it better…
