Term Oil Vanilla Bean

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown body with a dense, tan-colored head that displays strong adhesion to the glass. The beer is opaque and visually dense, befitting its imperial stout weight and bourbon-barrel aging. Minimal visible carbonation rises through the thick, viscous medium.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vanilla and toasted marshmallow, supported by cocoa powder and charred oak from barrel contact. Beneath lies a dark chocolate nougat character with hints of roasted grain and subtle coffee undertones. Alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated into the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Rich entry dominated by vanilla, dark chocolate, and whipped cream sweetness, with a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel. Mid-palate develops toasty, roasted grain notes and bourbon-barrel oak character, balanced by moderate bitterness (65 IBU) that prevents cloying. The high ABV (14.5%) provides subtle boozy warmth without harshness.

◑ Abgang

Long, warming finish with lingering dark chocolate, vanilla, and oak notes fading gradually. Drying quality emerges in the aftertaste as roasted grain and light coffee notes emerge.
