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.

Like a cream soda/coffee/chocolate shake/beer. I did not expect this to be this good.

LCI: OG vanilla shake BA. Begint wat dun en scherp. Na ademen vult hij mooi aan met marshmallows en chocola. Vanille en bourbon. Erg mooi, maar de veroudering is merkbaar.

Didn’t dig this quite as much as last time, but still tasty as hell. Was a bit more thin than I remembered...

I‘m very sure that it was fresh much better. Tons of Vanilla and Marshmallows. Thin but gets the body from the barrel. Not bad but it’s on the way to die. 4,36

Bottled 5/9/16. No signs of a weakening taste profile as of yet. Just wish this was a bit thicker. But very tasty. 4.2

Lci. Laatste bier van de bottleshare met Bart en Sjors. Zoveel vanille in dit bier. Erg zacht en smooth. De bourbon barrels haal je er niet echt uit. Maar dit is wel 1 bak smaak. Lekker hoor!

Deadly, like it’s so good and well balanced, with coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate, caramel aromas and a brûlée level of sweetness that…you…don’t…taste….or….smell…..the booziness. But even a taster, and you feel warm. Which I got a crowler now, just now

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

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

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

Tappet 050916. Herlig, velintegrert duft av mørk sjoko&bourbon. Fyldig, oljete, nesten slimete mf. Smak av mørk sjoko, svisker, dadler&bourbon, men med et uventet innslag av krydre som karve&anis. Antageligvis over the top.

Stadig god, men meget roasty, lidt tynd i det, har fået en lidt mere pastry-agtig vanille end jeg husker.
