Our Impression: Our philosophy on brewing Storyteller relies on balance.  The roasted character melds with the malt body, creating a smooth transition from chocolate-espresso to sweet toasted malt.  The alcoholic character is warming and present. We take shredded coconut, toast it in our bakery ovens, bag and cold extract it on Storyteller for about a week with the addition of hand processed Madagascar Vanilla Beans. It is time intensive as always with Storyteller, but we are always pleased with the results. The coconut and vanilla added to Storyteller bring the beer into another dimension, and it becomes more of a dessert than a drink, and is truly an experience. Storyteller has become a beer that all of our guests look forward to every year, as it only comes around once a year! Cheers.
