A Note on This Beer

Missing your chance to snag a 4.47 UT-rated Barrel Aged Stout from the masters at Cycle Brewing would be NUTS! Hazelnuts, to be specific.

Since it also features cacao nibs, rich ripples of Nutella-like decadence cascade throughout the sip. And coming from one of the most premier barrel programs in the country, it’s no surprise the complex notes of tannic oak, vanilla, and whiskey weave a tapestry of exquisite cask character on the finish.

If you’re looking for something that really impresses the beer nerds at your bottle share, look no further. But I wouldn’t blame you for savoring every last drop all by yourself as an after dinner treat.

Rated 4.47 on Untappd!

Tons of hazelnut flavor. A little boozy at first but it gets smoother after warming up a bit.

Strong hazelnut nose. Taste: hazelnut dominates with some fudge and a coffee-like acidity that lingers at the finish. Don’t taste any barrel at all. Reminds me of a slightly lesser version of Buxton’s “Yellow Belly”.

One bottle got me tipsy, and I’m a big guy. Very boozy and very chocolatey. Nutella in a bottle is apt but there’s also a bit of coffee bitterness in there that meshes well. Would definitely drink again.

AkiraG

Very dark and boozy. Has definite cocoa nib roasty undertones. Hazelnut is there too but very faint. Not sure if the age of the bottle affected the flavor.

I liked the hazelnut, though it was strong. My bottle was boozy hotter than I’d anticipated, and not as much on the barrel. Overall this is fine, sweet dessert.
