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?

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.

Når det er 16 år siden forrige FA-Cup seier, hvorfor ikke feire med en av flaskene som har overlevd lengst i kjøleskapet? Awesome beer.

All these years later, still a remarkable beer. The barrel coffee and the vanilla still pop in harmony. Sadly my last one…

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!!!!!!
