Wild Mind Molten Lava Cake Imperial Stout. Second Round, Two Year Anniversary, 08/04/18. Rye barrel aged. (Been sitting on this for over 4 months. Couldn't help myself. Damned lack of will power.)13.3 % ABV. Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.
Utter darkness in the glass, slim brown head.
In the nose: rich, roasted malt, cocoa, anise, spice, cinnamon. Deep and mysterious.
In the mouth: Hot. Sweet. Dry. Spicy. Full bodied and stuffed with flavor.
Whiskey notes take over, and alcohol is in command.
Some might call it "hot." Not I. Big and booming.
Sweet malty tones take over from the heat, keeping time with the spices. A multifarious adventure on the palate.Yum. A Dum. Dum.
To Celebrate our second anniversary, it's time for another bottle of cake. This imperial stout was brewed with toasted wheat and oats and conditioned on cocoa nibs, French sea salt, vanilla beans, and cinnamon before aging in rye whiskey barrels for six months. An ode to molten lava cake, second round is a decadent barrel-aged stout with rich notes of bakers chocolate, devils food, and frosting.
