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.

Perfect stout. Smooth, creamy with a vanilla accent that doesn’t overpower the bourbon barrel. Perfect harmony

2017 batch. I had this last year at their taproom when I was in SD and it was amazing. It was just as good tonight. Such an amazing balance of oak, vanilla and chocolate flavors. I will always seek this one out.

Fantastic. Appropriately named. Tastes like a boozy vanilla chocolate milkshake. Check in #6000. Woof.

Bottled on my bday 05/09/2016. I cant believe how well this aged. Fresh was a bit boozy, that has now faded and became a perfect marriage with the vanilla. Outstanding ba vanilla fudge bomb. Only wish the body was a bit thicker. 4.5+

Such wholesome display of real vanilla. Also dark chocolate, dark malts, licorice, slight bourbon barrel, ice creamy finish. Thick, flat-ish and bit slick at finish. Great one, still. Bottled 05/09/16.

Pullotettu 2016. Ei enää kovin makea, mutta tynnyröinti on pitänyt pintansa, mahdollisesti jopa vahvistunut. Erittäin pyöreää ja pehmeää. Harmi, etten ole maistanut tätä tuoreena.

Nose of bourbon, vanilla. Huge bourbon warming presence on the palate. Mildly sweet. Probably kept this too long.

Hade det varit mer (någon) vanilj så hade den fått 5. Allt med den är bra. Jag saknar bara vad jag vet att den kan vara.

BO 5/9/16 Whiskey and milk chocolate on the nose, some coffee also. Taste is heavenly, the barrel is nicely rounded out, coffee, licorice, vanilla and some dark fruits present. Tiny bit of carbonation left. Couldn’t even tell this is over 4 years old

[Backlog from Ratebeer, 2014] Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma of malt, coffee, chocolate & vanilla. Flavours of roasted malt, dark fruits, lots & lots of chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, licorice & soy. Full body and low carbonation. Very sweet.

PD 05/09/16 , one tasty stout. Quite funny to see this is brewed in Norway by Lervig, imported to US by Shelton Brothers and then to DK via Mikkeller and now shipped to me in Norway via DHL 😂
