MILF - Mother's Brewing Company

ABV: 11%
Bottled: 1/2016

Description from brewery:
You’re in for a treat with this one. Brewed with cocoa nibs and raisins and then lovingly aged in rum, sherry, bourbon, brandy and whiskey barrels, this big beer takes on flavors from the spirit and wood of each barrel. The end result is a complex and elegant companion that’s right for carefree nights of privilege and excess.

Pairs with: Goes great with savory meats like venison, beef, & bison. Or try it with something sweet like panna cotta, raspberry tart, creme brûlée, or chocolate souffle.


MOBeerGuy Thoughts:
Pours black with a thick tan head.

Aroma of oak barrel, bourbon, brandy, and vanilla.

This thick body stout is very smooth on the tongue. Upon first taste, the notes of raisin, bourbon, vanilla, and chocolate are found. The complex flavors of this beer are delightful and they invite you back for another sip. When returning for a quick second taste, I tasted fig, some smokiness ending with a hint of red wine. This brew gives a nice slow warmth in the throat that gradually finds its way to the stomach.

I love the complexity of flavors to this beer, they work very well together to produce a high quality brew.

Pairs with: Chocolate or a hard cheese like Parmigiano-Reggiano

I give this beer a 4.25 out of 5
