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.

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

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

Jumperin hyvä ja maukas. Vähän turhan paahteinen omaan makuun jopa.

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.

Jamen..nu snackar vi! En mjuk BA med fina toner av vanilj som skjuter på fattonerna rejält, svagt kaffe, chokladkola, läder, sötlakrits.. En effektiv kölddödare denna bittra decembereftermiddag.

Coffee, choclolate, barrel aging AND vanilla. Vanilla dominates at first. Thick choco stout feel. Sweetish for sure, but not pastry sweet. Brownie cakish feel.

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.

Syrupy sweetness well balanced by malt bitterness. A bit too sweet for me but very well done. Had some nice barrel notes present but not overwhelming

Bottle from 2016. Carbonation is mostly gone, coffee and vanilla flavor barely there. Slightly sweet and creamy. The age has really rounded out the BBAing, but taken away the carbonation and supporting vanilla and coffee. Still a great beer!
