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.

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

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!!!!!!

All I want is for Diet Vanilla Coke to become more widely available. I guess until then, I’ll settle for this

Smakar som att krossa en hel Madagaskar-stång under ett guldigt-Amex och dra hela genom näsan själv.

Smells of bourbon & chocolate cake. Taste of bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and black licorice in back. Sweet vanilla after.

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

Exceeded my expectations. Lives up to the hype. Vanilla bomb without being too sweet

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.
