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.

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.

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

Kraftig mörk choklad. Vanilj. Lätt spritvarm, trevlig smak av fatlagringen. Lång, lång eftersmak. Från 2016.

I get a good bit of clove from this, particularly as it warms. Smooth, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, clove, boozy, but nicely balanced.

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!

Fyldig og velbalansert stout. Aroma av søt sjokolade og røstet kaffe. Smak av sjokolade, vanilje, kaffe og malt pakket sammen av et flott bourbon fatpreg 🥰🍻

NICE! Probably a 5 for me with something to nibble on with it-without food, a little teeny bit of bitterness left on the tongue keeps it from being a 5 for me. Am I getting too picky in my old age-or just so many great barrel aged pastry stouts nowdays!

Bourbon forward. Some nice oak and vanilla. Probably prefer the OG but would love to do a side by side comparison!
