Our double milk stout, Most Important Beverage of the Day, aged 11 months in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels with sweet orange peel and cold-brewed Ljulu Lipati – Zambia (80%) and French Roast (20%) added. This beer is layered with the comforting flavors of a very adult breakfast. The base beer is a rich, chocolatey, full-bodied stout that pulled vanilla, coconut, and caramel bourbon character from the barrels. The orange peel adds bright overtones similar to Trix bathed in Grand Marnier–yes, we tried it, and it’s a dead ringer. The Ljulu Lipati adds a tangy acidity that cuts through the darker components, while the French roast pulls everything back to the dark depths, landing this beer squarely in the center, with incredible tension in either direction.
