Earlier in the pandemic, Dan cracks a super-limited release via a beer exchange from Wisconsin: Third Space Brewing Mystic Pancakes.

Third Space Brewing Mystic Pancakes

STYLE: Barrel-aged Imperial Cream StoutINGREDIENTS: Wisconsin maple syrup, Stone Creek 3 Volcanoes CoffeeABV: 10.7%AVAILABILITY: 12-Ounce Can, Draft (Super-Limited)Stats above taken from the brewery can.

Appearance

Super dark brown with a fluffy, mahogany head.

Aroma

A fight between bourbon and the ingredients at first, though my memory tells me it’s a big, fresh pour of maple syrup on chocolate chip pancakes. After the initial aroma fades, the dark coffee roast comes in leaving a cafe con leche kind of note.

Taste

It’s the pancake house fantasy from the nose, washed down with an excellent dark roast coffee all in one, but are able to separate the components. All the bourbon barrel character but with no heat and great balance with the ingredients.

Mouthfeel

They called this an imperial cream stout for a reason, and I am here for this smooth, creamy, and velvety mouthfeel.

Overall

This variant off of their Mystic Knot was super tasty, and could definitely be done as breakfast/brunch beer (with or without pancakes) or with/as dessert. If you have a chance to taste the variants, go for it. Many thanks again to Laura H. in Daddy Porter’s Beer Group for this super-limited release via the share.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
