PERENNIAL ABRAXAS VANILLA

Decadent pastry stout variant submerges cacao nibs, chili pepper and cinnamon stick adjuncts for rich vanilla fudging, gathering Black Forest cake, molasses cookie, cinnmaon coffee, fudged brownie, creme brulee, bruised black cherry and burgundy-port undertones. At the bold finish, chocolatey vanilla goodness usurps mild cayenne-peppered chili heat plus latent anise-nutmeg spicing.

OFF COLOR DOUBLE STUFFED DINO SMORES

Bigger, bolder confectionery S’mores-derived pastry stout variant lets creamy vanilla settle below dark chocolate syrup as honey-roasted marshmallow fluff flutters. At the midst, fudged caramel, honeyed wheat, chocolate mousse, bourbon vanilla, espresso, cappuccino and Anisette subsidies gather amongst the marshmallowy chocolate Graham Cracker base (with unexpected black-peppered cayenne nip). Richly sugared campfire dessert.

FIRESTONE WALKER BETWEEN TWO GRAHAMS IMPERIAL STOUT

Combining renowned brewers’ Parabola and Velvet Merkin, excellent S’mores-inspired stout aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels relies on vanilla bean richness, cocoa nibs fudging and brown-sugared cinnamon sticks to awaken rummy marshmallow-centered Graham Cracker base. Rich dark chocolate syruping drapes oncoming hazelnut brownie, biscotti anisette, dark cherry and dried fig illusions. Another fascinating nightcap by FW.
