About This Beer
Alpha Acid let their rich Oatmeal Stout base rest in the cracks of Willett bourbon barrels for an entire year. Just when the whiskey-tinged brew was poised to strike, they enticed it out of the spirit-drenched darkness with loads of cacao nibs and toasted and shredded coconut. Early tasters are raving that this might be the best Barrel Constrictor variant yet!
Tasting Notes
We anticipate the smooth sip to start whiskey-forward, with hints of caramelized oak and rustic vanilla wrapping themselves around roasty malts. As the sweet wood spice fades, a vast wave of creamy tropicality and rich chocolate should rise up — like a liquid Mounds Bar with a 15% ABV bite.

Great presentation of coconut flavor that's not overly sweet or thick for a stout. Too easy to drink especially for the proof.
