A Note on This Beer

This 4.46 UT-rated Imperial Stout is no yolk!

To craft it, the brewers at Turning Point aged their base brew in bourbon barrels that held whiskey for 12 YEARS, then maple syrup for 8 months after that. 

Like drizzling a Lazy Susan’s worth of goodies onto a stack of flapjacks and taking a big chomp, each pour delivers a kaleidoscope of opulent flavors with real additions of maple, coffee beans, vanilla, and cacao nibs!

Swaths of heavy maple notes start the sip in rich delight. The sweetness blends with the roasty coffee and malts, as the belly warming 14.5% ABV comes rocking through. The booze gets cut oh-so-smoothly after that with the barrel’s smooth touches as well as vanilla and cacao nibs, all settling on the finish.

Even if you’re not in the corner booth hanging out for a few hours on a weekend morning, your buds will appreciate some Blackout Brunch at the table. Just make sure to save some for yourself — the good stuff tends to go fast.

mouthfeel was thinner than I anticipated. nose wasn’t anything to write home about. but what a flavor! somehow the massive amount of adjuncts blended together to make the mouthfeel seem thicker than it was. like drinking a silky full slurry of every breakfasty sweet flavor out there. if you like rich and sweet. this is it.

All of the flavors are well balanced, except for the vanilla sweetness. Solid barrel flavor and coffee, but the vanilla dominates the second half of each sip. Regardless, it’s still delicious.

Very maple forward with some coffee undertones. Stout base is very muted.

Was looking forward to this. Was going in expecting boozy bite but it’s straight up way too sweet.
