A Note on This Beer

According to VinePair, Florida’s Cycle Brewing has “always knocked it out of the park with its barrel-aged Imperial Stouts!”  

Culture Trip says they’re One of the 10 Best Breweries in Florida. And, judging by the long list of their decadent Stouts with 4+ ratings on Tavour, you guys love this crew, too!

So, when we had the opportunity to snag a brand new single-adjunct Stout from the brewery’s Cuvee Series, we jumped on it. 

To create Just Almonds, the Cycle crew took their 4.33-rated Rare Dos Stout and aged it in Bourbon barrels for over 20 months!  

Slivered almonds in the barrel lend a bright nuttiness and a bit of earthy complexity that balances beautifully against notes of whiskey caramel and oaky vanilla. It’s like the beer equivalent of a dark chocolate Hershey’s Kiss with almond — if they made a bourbon version, that is.

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Very smooth stout with nice notes of bourbon from the barrel aging. Slight chocolaty notes but almond is so subtle as to be not noticeable.

All the cuvee's are delicious. This one is no different. Just the right amount of almond, bourbon, oak, and vanilla sweetness.

Probably my favorite of the Just Cuvees. Almond works well with base beer.

I’ve had a few selections from Cycle’s Cuvée series - and this one is the best so far. Rich and creamy. Super, super smooth and balanced. The almond flavor was spot on. Delicious beer!

Bourbonny with good balance. Not overly nutty, but get a kiss of salted almond on the back end

The stout base here is delightful, chocolatey, and very lightly almond. It did not deliver on that almond punch I'd hoped for, but it's delicious.

Almost as good as the Just Macadamia, but lost by a sliver. Creamy chocolate almond milk is what it tastes like. Delicious.

Another thick, rich, barrel-aged stout from Cycle. Better for my palate than the strawberry I had earlier this week. Very similar to the macadamia nut one I just finished. Barrel-aged and tasty!

Real nice chocolatey nutty barrel. I regret opening this solo just so I could try it with other cuvee blends but only cause it's fantastic alone and wish I could have mixed it up a bit with maybe chili or chocolate or vanilla. Medium light body, tastybooz

Fantastic aroma of chocolate, bourbon and oak. Strong flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, light of coffee/roasted malt, bourbon, oak and a touch of almonds 😍 Yummy! I love this stuff. Semisweet and perfect body….kind of like dad body, if that was a way of describing thickness 😂 No booziness at all, just easy drinkable 13% goodness

best of the just five series. Borbon from BBA is strong and the almond doesn’t stand out above that much but certainly is there. the contrast to the strawberry Cuvée version is excellent and I wished I had them the same day.

Any cycle BA stout is excellent almost always, this was. But it was not a stand out while stand alone.
