A Note on This Beer

Perennial’s annual Abraxas releases are some of the most coveted brews on the whole app — and for good reason! These opulent Stouts epitomize craft mastery, with the vanilla variant earning a 4.39 on Tavour and a 98/100 from Craft Beer & Brewing.

To make it, the crew took their OG Abraxas recipe of cacao nibs, ancho chilis, cinnamon, and vanilla, then gave it an extra dose of vanilla beans to wrap the brew in silky sweetness.

Fudgy dark chocolate and caramel flan flavors cascade over the roasty malts, delighting your palate with their richness. A chili spice complexity builds as you sip, smoothed out by the creamy finish.

If you’re an Abraxas lover, you’ve probably already stuffed your crate with a couple of bottles. For the uninitiated, now’s the perfect time to find out why craft fans go wild for these impeccable Stouts!

Rated 4.39 on Tavour, 4.4 on Untappd, and 98/100 by Craft Beer & Brewing!

Big chocolate up front, followed by fudge, burned wood, and a touch of chili heat. Vanilla creeps on as it warms, finishing nutty, sweet and lightly dry.

Third of four. Vanilla version was too sweet. Preferred the coffee. Learning dessert stouts are not for me.

I have had Abraxas in the past and wasn’t that impressed. I must have had a bad bottle, this is excellent, so smooth and strong vanilla.
