Beyond Forever is a stout blend built for the rich and creamy character of Ugandan vanilla beans. A trio of stouts that aged in Willett, Weller, and Blantons barrels create a complex base of dark chocolate, toasted almond, vanilla soaked oak, and ganache. The vanilla beans blossom into ripe fig and silky milk chocolate notes. A cosmic abyss of vanilla splendor best explored with an astral confidant.

GREY’S VIEW
Yeap. Be. Ready. Beyond Forever is a blend of Imperial Stouts aged in Willet-, Weller- & Blantons Bourbon Barrels and its Ugandan Vanilla Beans flavoured.
The first sip. And it’s tight with Bourbons. Yammyy!
I taste archipelago bread, some buttermilk, loads of ryes, liqorice and salty caramels too. Oak and charcoal bites nicely. The Vanilla steps in so delicately. Giving some nuances of colorful tropical flowers and sweetness to this dark one. But it definitely is a barrel forward piece. So absolutely nice! Bit rough on the edges, but absolutely nice one! Mouthfeel has some cream to it, bubbles being tad on the sharp side and body at medium level. Nice. Nice. Yeah.
OTHER NOTES:
Private Press. What can I say. Selling their dreambrews only to members and focusing solely to barrel aged beers. Nothing but mad respect to Private Press Brewing 🙏🏼
So. Damn. Beautiful.
