A Note on This Beer

“Pure rocky road ice cream. Like shoving spoonfuls of malty goodness down your throat. Stellar.” @Zack M.

One of Tavour’s Most Popular Stouts of All Time is back! 

The first time we shared this decadent dessert with you it sold out in under five hours! And last time we had it you rated it a whopping 4.33 on the app!

Every sip of this big 11.2% ABV monster is like riding the rapids of a coursing cocoa river on a raft made of marshmallow! Chocolatey currents crash against toasty black walnuts before coming to rest in a pool of velvety mocha milkshake.

And it comes from Junkyard Brewing, which Hop Culture calls “the next frontier in craft beer.”

These Minnesota candy kings brewed this decadent Imperial Stout with roasted barley for a robust, belly warming base. Then they conditioned it with rich cocoa nibs, toasted black walnuts, and 60 lbs per batch of real jumbo marshmallows! 

You actually might just find yourself thinking you’re sipping down thick, silky scoops of melted Rocky Road. 

The best part? Midnight Spider comes in a stacked 25oz can, so this ice cream is ready to get social! Maybe toss in a scoop of actual ice cream and make a mind bendingly good beer float or midnight snack.

Very intense dark flavors and heavily roasted malt aromas. Initially the flavors that come to mind are very toasted graham crackers and blackstrap molasses. Cocoa nibs follow immediately afterwards. The flavors stay for a pleasantly appropriate amount of time. Not too much marshmallow in this, but it is a touch creamy.

A little nutty, marshmallow is subtle. It’s pretty sweet which giving the size of the can makes drinking it a little daunting. But the flavor is rich and not like anything I’ve ever had so I’d definitely recommend it to any stout fan.

Smells exactly like rocky road ice cream. Tastes slightly boozy up front, followed by strong marshmallow and chocolate flavor, and just a tiny bit of vanilla mixed in. Seriously tasty

This was definitely a tasty drink. For some reason it just didn’t stand out to me. Maybe it’s because I’m not a huge consumer of rocky road ice cream. This is a really good stout and with the size of the can and the ABV it will really leave you satisfied, but I’m unsure if I will reorder.

Look: Dark brown, almost black. Foamy brown two finger head that slowly disappeared but hung onto the side of the glass. Smell: Big chocolate marshmallow ice cream up front, followed by walnut and boozy hints. Feel: Medium to full bodied feel, slight carbonation tickle. Taste: Definitely tastes like an imperial, but you get a nice mixture of walnut and light chocolate marshmallow ice cream. The chocolate taste is more like cocoa nibs and less like sweet milk chocolate that comes through in the smell. Like a boozy rocky road sundae. As it warms the flavors are even nicer and it tastes more and more like a sundae! Bren is a HUGE chocolate marshmallow ice cream fan so this was her pick. If you like imperial dessert beers this one is definitely worth trying. We were hesitant because all of the Junkyard brews we have had have been a bit musty tasting. This one is a pleasant surprise! I think we need to go finish this with some chocolate brownies... Cheers!

For me this is a "pastry" stout done right. It tastes like beer and not just a sugary diabetes bomb. It comes off like a walnut fudge brownie but at the same time the base imperial stout has a nice roasty back bone which balances the sweetness. The marshmallow flavour is minimal and is really just a back note. Over all really well balanced.

True to taste! One of the best Rocky Road stouts I've had. Being a pastry stout, it is on the sweet side, so I'd suggest sharing the can or pairing it with a biscotti or some sort of dessert/biscuit that is kind of blan to help with the sweetness.
