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.

Aivan timanttinen! Tummaa suklaata, granolaa, espressoa. Whiskyä. Mieletön runko.

Uit 2016. Prachtig spul. Vanille zit er nog mooi in en mooi gebalanceerd in de barrel.

(4.4) 2016 vintage, pink label. Sweet molasses, bourbon, oak, lovely and lightly milky vanilla flavors that are still going pretty strong (wow!), dark stone fruits suggesting mostly figs and plums, along with a light tartness, followed by moderately...

What a pleasure to have this gem of a beer again. Why can’t they make this shit anymore. Fucking brilliant whiskey barrel. Vanilla subdued but still shows it’s presence. Incredibly adult and smooth.

Even though this has a tad of coffee which I not crazy about, this is delicious.

Deilig duft av mørk sjokolade! Fyldig og toppes av en tykk sødme og vanilje. Fester seg på tungen og gir en nydelig ettersmak, portvin, dessert øl. 13%. En moden øl. Metamannen spanderer øl og pizza😁

Padautz, so verpackt man Bourbon auf perfekte Art und Weise! Was eine schöne Vanille, Kaffee schön darunter gelegt, Maple blitzt fein durch und das alles auf eine angenehme Art boozy. Starkes Stück, 4,6!

A big beer for a big kick in the ass on a Sunday evening! Thick, sweet, VANILLA, milk & dark chocolate, faint coffee, enough tang & bitter give balance. Slight whiskey heat but otherwise super sneaky 13.4% ABV!!!!!!
