Dimensional — Aibohphobia Double Pastry (2024)

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Aibohphobia Double Pastry pours pitch-black with a mocha crown, releasing aromas of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and warm bourbon. The palate is unapologetically dessert-like: layers of fudge and roasted malt meet vanilla bean, candied pecan, and ribbons of peanut butter, all braced by oak tannins and a gentle bourbon warmth. Extended barrel aging brings depth and a silky, full-bodied texture, while the doubled adjunct load amplifies sweetness without losing balance. Each sip evolves, finishing on lingering notes of chocolate cake, vanilla frosting, and toasted nut. A whale-tier indulgence built for slow, contemplative sipping.

Food Pairing

Pair with a slice of flourless chocolate torte topped with toasted coconut and pecans to mirror the beer’s adjunct-driven sweetness. Alternatively, serve alongside a wedge of aged blue cheese drizzled with bourbon-soaked figs, where the salty funk and oak warmth create a striking contrast to the stout’s dessert-like richness.
