Twas the night before bottling day and all through the brewhouse, not a beer drinker was stirring, not even Karl Strauss. (JK, we’ve actually been very busy getting the 12th – and final! – installment in our “Twelve Days” series of holiday beers ready for you.) Brewer’s Dozen Imperial Cookie Stout is whiskey barrel aged and brewed with cocoa nibs and vanilla beans. Inspired by warm cookies fresh from the oven, this bold beer has notes of gooey chocolate, dark caramel, and bourbon. Who needs milk? This year, we’re dunking our cookies in beer.
