Normally, I would review the standard Infinite Wishes as well as any and all 2021 variants. Since normal is still a few months away, I have cracked open a 2020 as well as the Peanut Butter Cup version.
Now let’s review these two from Smog City…
Oh the Wishes I should have made this time last year. But let’s talk about this waxed Bourbon Barrel Imperial stout, which the label describes as “a bourbon chocolate pie”. I initially get a red wine vinous note along with a touch of coconut. As it warms up, the chocolate starts to cone through. A mix of milk and dark versions. A tiny hint of oak adds a different taste along with a bit more carbonated sparkle than I expected.
Now let’s turn to Reeses, Jeff, Skippy or wherever your personal peanut butter fix comes from…
Big peanut hit upon popping the bottlecap. It is not a candy aroma or taste though. More peanut butter cookie to me. Maybe a cookie dough effect. Less carbonated than the previous Infinite Wishes which I think works better. The bourbon barrel flavors are effectively removed. I wish that some more of that remained to create a boozy cookie simulacrum.
