Mr. Sandman, bring me a beer,

(Bung bung bung bung)

Wrap it in bourbon for plenty of cheer,

(Bung bung bung bung)

Give it vanilla and flavors of clover,

(Bung bung bung bung)

Then tell me I can sip it over and over!

Yes, of course, I’m singing! Denver’s River North Brewery has brought back the luscious vanilla-filled small batch variant of their esteemed Mr. Sandman Imperial Stout. It’s been a year since the first song-worthy release, and it went so fast that most Tavour members never even got a look at it!

True to its name, Vanilla Bourbon Barrel Mr. Sandman (2020) napped in Bourbon Barrels for tunes of roasted fig and honeyed oak, swirled with flavors of baking spice and dark chocolate undertones. Creamy refrains of vanilla ebb and flow throughout each mouthful. Yum!

And, while singing out loud is totally natural when sipping, that 13% ABV can quickly shift the tune from barbershop bops to soothing lullabies of vanilla and bourbon-soaked dreams.

It is called Mr. Sandman, after all!

*In a Paste Mag blind tasting, River North’s original Mr. Sandman was declared the #1 Imperial Stout in the World, beating out hundreds of other Dark Beer masters!
