This two-year aged Imperial Stout emerges from a blend of specialty barrels with an opulent profile of molten chocolate and campfire sweetness. Cycle Brewing leverages the extended maturation to weave rich oak and barrel-driven vanilla into a deep-roasted grain bill. The addition of cocoa nibs amplifies the bittersweet dark chocolate core, while toasted marshmallows contribute a gooey, caramelized sugar depth. Expect a velvety, viscous experience where the intense roast of black malts harmonizes with leather and dark fruit esters, culminating in a warming, decadent finish that showcases the complexity of long-term barrel integration.
Appearance.Jet black and completely opaque. Features a small, dark tan head with low retention, leaving a viscous coating and noticeable legs on the glass (SRM 40+).
Aroma.High intensity. Dominated by bittersweet cocoa and charred oak, with prominent notes of caramelized sugar and vanilla from the toasted marshmallows. Secondary aromas of espresso, black cherry, and prunes are supported by a smooth, spirit-like warmth.
Taste.Massive initial impression of dark chocolate and sweet vanilla. The mid-palate offers toasted bread and espresso roast, balanced by a distinct marshmallow sweetness. Oak tannins from the specialty barrels provide structure against the high residual sugar. The finish is long and lingering with notes of singed sugar and cocoa.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low, while a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth is present and noticeable.
