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.

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.

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

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

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.
