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.

Hold da op en lækker balance mellem den søde og smooth vanilla og det varme whiskey fad

Favorite of the night. Rich chocolate/bourbon notes and the vanilla almost tasted malted. Merits a gratuitous photo of my dog meeting a mini Aussie puppy.

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

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!

Aroma is Still huge amount of Vanilla, and USA Bourbon oak, semi-body, Taste is Vanilla, reglisse and sweet velvet…. Paired with my infamous but successfull maroccan handrolled cigar… coming out of my RIS 2016 cellared collection

Unglaublich intensiv vanillig und schokoladig. Kakao. Dazu kräftige Whiskey Noten, cremig. Schöne röstnoten mit Kaffee. Könnte etwas buttriger sein. Ansonsten ein einziger Traum.

Just as good as the other, plus bourbon barrel aged. Is there a 6 out of 5 stars?

White whale that lives up to the hype. Not sure how much better a BBA stout could be. Vanilla is prominent, coffee is subtle, & bourbon is present without overpowering. Lovely.

Soft velvety, the whisky is very forward it is almost like drinking a mild whisky, sweetish almost licoriceish. The age has definitly helped combining the overall taste. Very heavy body, mild carbonation with almost no foam.

Deep dark black with tan lacing. Strong bourbon nose, with vanilla riding out. Taste balances sweet bean vanilla against dark coffee, and chocolate finds a place. Vanilla takes center stage as it should. Bourbon warmth and booze finish. Mikkeller ftw.
