Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with strawberries, cacao nibs, and Madagascar vanilla beans

Black Tuesday is the perfect canvas for creativity in liquid form. Scoop Scoop Scoop was inspired by classic Neapolitan ice cream: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, swirled together in perfect harmony. Why pick just one flavor when you can have a triple-scoop trip down memory lane? This decadent imperial stout was aged in bourbon barrels then treated with rich cacao nibs, fresh strawberries, and Madagascar vanilla beans for a tasty treat, Black Tuesday style.

Tasting Notes:

The fourth and final reveal in this year’s Small Batch Black Tuesday treatment series, crafted exclusively for our Society members, is Scoop Scoop Scoop, inspired by the familiar flavors of Neapolitan ice cream. We treated this beer with rich cacao nibs, strawberries, and a hefty scoop of Madagascar vanilla beans. Scoop Scoop Scoop pours a black color with just a tinge of ruby, with notes of strawberry blossoming out of the glass upon first pour, instantly reminiscent of the ice cream inspiration. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this beer is the mouthfeel— creamy, and viscous, and absolutely reminiscent of melted ice cream. The palate is met again with strawberries up front, followed by sweet vanilla notes, and a pleasant bitterness at the finish from the addition of cacao nibs. Pour into a glass, or maybe pour over a scoop of ice cream, and definitely share with friends.
