Collision of Stubbornness.
Two stouts meet in this blend: an imperial wheat stout and an imperial oatmeal honey stout, one aged 26 months in cognac barrels, the other 24 months in bourbon barrels, then rested on generous coconut, Ugandan vanilla and a touch of cinnamon. Dark malt, oak, cognac and bourbon meet warm vanilla and gentle spice in a deep, rounded blend at 16.4%; it can leave harmless floaties.
