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.

The geeks left the Nerds due to their revenge of other worlds. They parted ways with the recipe of the barrel aged to make the beer set forth which undoubtedly proved their worth. If you know what I mean, then enjoy this vanilla bean.

Syrupy sweetness well balanced by malt bitterness. A bit too sweet for me but very well done. Had some nice barrel notes present but not overwhelming

Bottle from 2016. Carbonation is mostly gone, coffee and vanilla flavor barely there. Slightly sweet and creamy. The age has really rounded out the BBAing, but taken away the carbonation and supporting vanilla and coffee. Still a great beer!

Tulee barleywine-vibat, en tiiä miks. On hyvä kyllä silti. Tynnyröinti toimii komeesti.

This definitely one of the better ba stouts I've had, heavy bourbon character, had this weird note that I've noticed many vanilla stouts have that I'm not a fan of. The rest makes up for it though.

Pas trop sucrée ni torréfiée. Texture trop liquide, légèrement carbonatée. L'assemblage vanille / café fonctionne bof, ça fait café au lait un peu cheap, c'est pas dingue. J'aurais bien aimé voir ce que donne la base sans adjunct, voire sans BA.

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

Smaak is prima, body had iets beter gekund. Hoe dan ook, prima afsluiter. Ook als mijn laatste biertje als 32jarige.

All I want is for Diet Vanilla Coke to become more widely available. I guess until then, I’ll settle for this
