Bar
Bar is an imperial stout brewed with a double mash from English and German malts, oats and lactose, then cold-conditioned on specialty coffee from Bahia in Brazil, Ecuadorian cacao beans and Bourbon vanilla pods. The body is full, very dense, oily and velvety. Almond and caramel from the coffee merge with the nutty and floral side of the cacao, and a light touch of vanilla ties the two together.
