False Idol Brewing OG Buff
What the brewers say
“Imperial stout with Madagascar vanilla beans.”
What our panel thought
“Sweet, smooth vanilla aroma, with a soft malt aroma of toast and chocolate behind the vanilla. Flavor features sweet, caramelized malt, smooth chocolate and coffee notes, and vanilla pastries. Quite sweet with vanilla amplifying the sweetness. Some dark cherry liqueur notes in the finish. A big dessert beer!”
What our editors thought
“Marshmallow vanilla nose with extract pungency. Bittersweet flavor with a toasted-malt throughline and darker roast in the finish.”
