Choices to be made!
When Groot offers you an Almond Joy or a Big Kahuna, what do you choose?
For me it has to be the Big Kahuna. I have been on a quest to find this beer for a long time! Brewed by Catalyst Brewing (formerly 5168 Brewing) out of Lincoln, Nebraska, they took an incredible Hawaiian Porter full of coconut, chocolate, and coffee and aged it for 12 months in a whiskey barrel.
What was the result? A really nice whiskey, oak bouquet with coconut and chocolate aroma. The whiskey flavor is forward but not too overpowering in this 10% ABV Imperial Porter. The chocolate and coconut comes through midway and lasts into the finish.
These young fellas seem to be super pumped about the Big Kahuna. You can’t blame them! No offense, Groot but I will take the Big Kahuna any day over an Almond Joy!
I now know what my Halloween treat needs to be every year.
Cheers!
