Bottle Logic Brewing Natural Selection (2022)
Natural Selection (2022) is an opulent, barrel-aged Imperial Stout that expertly captures the essence of liquid banana bread. This collaboration between Bottle Logic and Tripping Animals opens with a decadent fusion of cacao nibs and the distinct, caramelized sweetness of wild thai bananas. The bourbon barrel aging introduces a refined oak profile and rich vanilla, while the integration of vanilla chai adds complex layers of cinnamon and clove. The 14% ABV provides a significant, soul-warming presence that enhances the dessert-like qualities. A nuanced, tea-toned bitterness from the chai balances the lush sweetness, resulting in a harmonious, lingering finish of spice and dark chocolate.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, creamy, deep tan head that shows moderate retention. High viscosity is apparent in the glass, forming slow-moving legs due to the high alcohol content.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of ripe banana, dark chocolate, and spicy cinnamon and clove from the vanilla chai. Strong bourbon presence with notes of charred oak and sweet vanilla. Moderate roasted malt character provides a background of coffee and toasted bread, with no perceptible hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is richly sweet and dessert-forward, dominated by caramelized banana and bittersweet cacao nibs. The mid-palate reveals intricate spice notes of cinnamon and clove, supported by a sturdy bourbon-soaked oak character. Bitterness is moderate, derived from both roasted grains and a unique tannic tea quality from the chai. The finish is long and warming with a lingering blend of spice and dark chocolate, staying balanced rather than cloying.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a thick, velvety, and luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, providing just enough lift. Notable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated, providing a gentle heat that lingers in the chest without being sharp.
