Sisyphus Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout Season w/toasted coconut

 Sisyphus Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout Season w/toasted coconut.


12 % ABV. 50 IBU. Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 

Complete blackness, utter opacity, slim brown head. 

In the nose: rich and nutty. Coconutty. Bourbon barrel catches up. Just for a second, then toasted coconut comes back in command. Mounds bar aromatics, here. If you love coconut, this is your jam.

In the mouth: Coconut starts it off, but whiskey comes up from behind and takes over. It's a complex melange, and it's never too sweet. Just dark enough, malty enough, and maybe more than strong enough. I am strongly compelled to call this yum a dum dum. And I just might, you watch me. 

Yum, is what this is, a dum, dum.
