Dimensional — Anny (2022)

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Anny 2022 pours pitch-black with a mocha-tinged crown, releasing aromas of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and bourbon warmth. The palate unfolds in dessert-like layers: roasted malt and fudge meet creamy peanut butter, candied pecan, and vanilla bean drawn from extended bourbon barrel aging. Oak tannins frame the sweetness, lending structure to notes of chocolate cake batter and brown sugar. Full-bodied and decadently viscous, each sip finishes with lingering whiskey heat, cocoa, and a soft nuttiness. A masterclass in barrel craftsmanship, this whale-tier pastry stout rewards slow, contemplative sipping.

Food Pairing

Pair with a flourless dark chocolate torte topped with toasted coconut and pecans to mirror the beer’s adjunct-driven richness. Alternatively, serve alongside a creamy aged blue cheese with candied walnuts and honey, where salty funk and sweet nuttiness elevate the bourbon-soaked, dessert-like complexity of this imperial stout.
