Wake 'N Bake Humongous Chungus
2 Year Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Coffee Stout – 14.0% ABV
Yeah… well, that’s just like… your morning, man.
This absolute beast spent two years kickin’ it in bourbon barrels before getting the full wake ’n bake treatment—stacked with bold coffee roasted by our friends at Ten Drops, smooth Madagascar vanilla, and a worldwide tour of cacao nibs from Haiti, Ghana, and Ecuador. It’s dripping with notes of fresh espresso, fudgy dark chocolate, sweet vanilla cream, and that warm bourbon hug that says, “no plans today.” Rich, roasty, and blissfully over-the-top, this Chungus doesn’t rush anything—and neither should you. Sip slow, stay mellow, and abide.
