This luscious imperial stout contains the number 12 in at least 12 places. (12 malts, abv 12,12, 12kg rooibos tea, etc..) it has delicious flavors to give it interesting floral notes - rooibos tea, tonka beans, vanilla beans, plus cacao nibs and coffee.
The rooibos tea really comes through in the finish, giving it this soft floral lift that balances the heavy malt body perfectly. I counted 11 of the 12 references on the label before giving up and just enjoying the glass. Cheers to whoever thought of this one.
The gimmick of finding all twelve references is fun, but the rooibos really comes through in the finish—it's like a dark, boozy tea. At 12.12% it's dangerously smooth, so I'm savoring this one slowly.
The floral notes from the rooibos tea really come through on the finish, and at 12.12% it drinks dangerously smooth for the strength. I counted the gimmick on the label while sipping and it's the fun kind of nerdy detail that makes this bottle feel special.
