The Bruery, a craft brewery that's situated in California's Orange County and has made a name for itself for its innovative takes on craft beer, has launched a delectable new imperial stout that may make you think that you've been temporarily transported to a bakery that specializes in banana nut muffins. That's because this particular brew happens to present warm pastry aromas, as is only appropriate given that it's part of the Bruery's Bakery Series.
This imperial stout is full bodied in nature with rich notes of banana as well as hints of walnut, with a banana nut muffin aroma dominating the experience.
In the words of brand director Caitie Gold, the Banana Nut Muffin imperial stout "delivers the perfect combination of fresh early-morning aromas that will awaken the nostalgia in everyone."
