Wild Mind Plato’s Cave Imperial Stout with Vanilla Beans and Toasted Coconut.
12.3% ABV, Wild Mind Ales, Brewed & canned in Minneapolis, MN.
Completely black, rich, roasted brown head, thoroughly opaque.
In the nose: coconut hits first, sweetness abounds, along comes vanilla. Dark, chocolate malts loom below.
In the mouth: huge coconut dominates the palate. Rich, slightly sweet, thick and tasty. Thick as motor oil, with never ending coconut flavor. Full bodied, long, sweet finish, modicum of bitterness to maintain some semblance of balance.
This one is deep and decadent, many layers of yum a dum dum. And the outsized ABV makes it a perfect nightcap.
Brewed with oats and an array of roasted, chocolate and caramel malts, hopped intentionally with American varietals, Plato’s Cave is a massive Imperial Stout with a very heavy handed dose of Madagascar vanilla beans and toasted coconut. It drinks equally rich, bold and smooth with notes of Samoa cookies, fudge brownies, macchiato and flourless chocolate cake.
