Been working on an Imperial Stout for a while now. I added 4oz Cacao Nibs and 2 split down the middle vanilla beans to my Stout in secondary. About 5 days in it was simply amazing, wanted to keg but didn't have time and let it go for another couple days until the weekend.
Man,.. what a difference and really feel like I missed the "peak" and in hindsight, I should have taken the bag out while waiting to keg.
A taste from the bottling bucket was much sweeter than the taste two days prior and way to much vanilla for my taste and seems to have robbed the beer from the amazing malt roast-e-ness and complex flavors it had.
It's bottle conditioning now. Will some of the vanilla drop out after a while or will it become more pronounced?
