I typically will grab anything Pipeworks Brewing will release, so when I saw this
stout I knew I had to grab it. Pipeworks made this in collaboration with Hacienda
Beer Co out of Wisconsin. Did it live up to the hype in my head?

**ABV:** 10.5%
**IBU:** N/A**Style:** Stout – Imperial/Double**Brewery Description:**
Imperial Milk Stout with cacao nibs, cherries, vanilla, and pecan. We collaborated
with our friends at Hacienda Beer Co. to brew this super sundae. Like a good sundae,
all these flavors melt together. We did pull some of this beer into a barrel, so
this release is more limited than most of our stout releases. We do hope to be able
to drive some into Wisconsin, the home state of Hacienda Beer Co!

I picked this up at a local bottle shop after seeing a few different places.

**Appearance: **This poured a thick black with a little tan head – think motor oil.
There was little head retention and almost no lacing on the glass.

**Smell: **I got a lot of chocolate and pecan with hints of vanilla and toffee. 
I didn’t get the cherry.

**Taste: **The chocolate, toffee and vanilla were front and center here. There was
less of the pecan in the taste with just a hint of the cherry. The flavors were 
all well balanced and the sweetness was refreshing.

**Mouth: ** For as dark as this was, I was expecting a fuller mouthfeel. This was
a thinner stout, but it was easy to drink for 10.5%. There was no afterburn like
some boozier stouts.

**Overall**: A very good beer. Well balanced and easy to drink; the alcohol sneaks
up on you. One of the better “dessert” beers I’ve had that isn’t a fruit beer.

**Rating: **4.00 out of 5. A very good imperial stout that I’d be willing to get
again if I can find it.

The average rating on [BeerAdvocate](https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/28178/459407/)
is 3.89 (on 9 ratings). The Untappd rating is 4.08 (1314 check-ins).
