Following a long boil of our base stout, we added a healthy dose of pistachios, honey, cacao nibs, and cake mix. A decadent pour leads to aromas of pistachio chocolate pudding and flavors of creamy devil’s food cake batter, raw honeycomb, and something we would imagine a pistachio Snickers bar would taste like. The liquid frosted chocolate cake meets honey baklava flavor profile wraps up with a slick and velvety finish we tend to get with a honey addition, offering stacked milkshake-like flavors you could enjoy with a straw.
  • Giant Choc PB Cookie – 17% Following its 25 months in Weller Barrels, Barrel Aged Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cake was conditioned on copious amounts of peanuts, Bolivia cacao nibs, and chocolate cake mix. Featuring a creamy and voluptuous consistency, its pour starts off with an inviting boozy chocolate and peanut butter aroma, leading way to flavors of peanut butter frosted bourb0n soaked brownies, chocolate covered peanut chews, peanut butter mudslides, and molasses nougat, all wrapped up with a touch of vanilla bourb0n caramel char and a splash of complex heat offered from the two years in the barrel. Leave the baking to us, because flavors of part chocolate, part peanut butter, and part bourb0n all add up to the perfect liquified adult treat.
