Cerebral Brewing Here Be Monsters - Single Barrel Select (Bottle Logic)

What the brewers say

"The base of this stout was conditioned on a very rare honey varietal - Meadowfoam Maple - before being aged for 23 months in an 8 year Blanton’s Bourbon barrel."

What our panel thought

Right off, a well-balanced aroma with notes of blackberries, dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, and brown sugar. The flavor profile oozes huckleberry pie, molasses, and fudge all wrapped up in a cozy, boozy blanket. Sweet, but not cloying. A delightful beer.”

What our editors thought

“Woody licorice with a fruity vanilla top note. The sip is firm and brisk, with tight chocolate and vanilla oaky notes. Well-structured, not sluggish.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Cerebral Brewing Celestial Origin (2022)

“Rich aroma with oak, vanilla, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, dark chocolate, rye bread. The flavor adds toasted macadamia nut and touches of maple syrup. Boozy heat emerges in the finish.”

Bottle Logic Brewing Titan of Tokyo

“Nice depth to the fruit character, tropical notes with a subtle underlying earthiness. Clean tartness, a pleasant residual sweetness to balance, and just enough tannins on the finish to add an impression of bitterness.”

Breakside Brewery Space Music

“Spicy tequila-like booziness pervades across a chocolate and raisin aroma. Sipping brings chocolate, cherries, cinnamon, and caramel. The finish is on the sweeter side of dry.”
