Geburtstagskranz

Aroma: “Heavy bourbon notes, roasted almond, vanilla, and light coconut. The cherry is tucked in there with all of the bourbon flavors, but in combination provides a nice amaretto note.”

Flavor: “Dark chocolate with vanilla and burnt marshmallows, aged cherries, coffee, bourbon, with a sweet, slightly tart finish.”

Overall: “Fun flavor profile from start to finish. A wonderful beer that melds the cherry almost perfectly with the barrel character. Don Draper would order this beer and then probably yell at Sally.”

“Inspired by the flavors found in black forest cake, this recipe called for a rich imperial stout, with notes of chocolate, barrel-aged character, sweet vanilla and tart, juicy cherries.”
