A Note on This Beer
When the mighty Stone Brewing takes one of their top rated Stouts and blends in a dose that’s been aged in Bourbon barrels, people go Farking crazy. Tavour members rate Farking Wheaton W00t Stout a whopping 4.21.
This is no hype-train brew -- this 13% ABV W00t was brewed for nerds (Dark Beer & Comic Con fans alike), by the nerds at Stone who are meticulous about their ingredients, brewing, barrel-aging, and blending processes. The results are consistently delicious as this cocoa-drenched pecan pie laden Stout scores admirably across the board with a 4.16 on Untappd and a 4.12 on BeerAdvocate.
Pour this dark and brooding sipper with purpose to unveil a frothy head atop pitch blackness. W00t entices the nose with roasty aromas of chocolate-covered nuts. Once its silky body reaches your palate, you’ll be mesmerized by its flavor combinations of sweet Bourbon and oaky vanilla from the barrels, intertwined with spicy notes from flaked Rye Malts.
This dark whiskey-spiked chocolate pecan milkshake in a bottle is just begging to be opened. Oops, that was just me thinking out-loud about my plans for when I get home tonight...
Rated 4.21 on Tavour; 4.16 Untappd; 4.12 BeerAdvocate
