Simplicity is Bliss, our collaboration with Streetside Brewery, is a thoughtful blend of 14.5% ABV barrel aged stout with vanilla beans added. The crew from Streetside brought New Riff Malted Rye Whiskey barrels to the brew day, and we knew right away that some Laird's Apple Brandy barrels, that just came in, would be the perfect companion. The finished stout is complex and elegant with notes of fudge, and fresh roasted coffee beans, with big waves of vanilla that were complimented by an addition of Tanzanian vanilla beans.
