Burial Beer Co Walking Through the Abyss into Nonsequitur

What the brewers say

“Imperial stout with Onyx decaf coffee, toasted coconut, hazelnuts, cinnamon, vanilla bean.”

What our panel thought

“Aromas of coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, pistachio, and a light hint of star anise create a wildly complex nose that doesn’t hide the booze. Gets lost in its own complexity as flavor notes all hit simultaneously.”

What our editors thought

“Subtle nutty coffee nose leads to a saturated and rich sip with almond, very light spice, deeper caramel and chocolate malt notes, and a defined coffee edge.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Single Hill Brewing Company Reserve - Osa Major

“Alcoholic heat in the nose obscures hints of roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. Booze carries into the flavor, stripping away more subtle complexities. Roasty, smoky, with pleasantly malty profile.”

Button Down Brewing Ríastrad

“Pine-like hop notes and gentle hints of peppermint blend nicely with roasted malt in the subtle nose. Coffee emerges in the flavor to complement the roast and chocolate malt sweetness; its bitterness lingers into the finish leaving a pleasant coating of espresso-like flavor.”

Burial Beer Co Forsaken Blatherings of Nonsequitur

“Inviting baking spices, roast-malt notes on the nose with a hint of green coffee. Cinnamon, ginger notes wrestle with the coffee, tempered by a vanilla sweetness. Viscous body.”
