Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout is aged for 9 months in handmade Rolling Thunder Barrel Works barrels previously used to age our Dead Guy Whiskey. This one-of-a-kind imperial stout can be enjoyed right away or cellared for years. Either way it’s best shared among friends.
Dark with a creamy head, this imperial stout features rich notes of coffee and chocolate, combined with the vanilla and smokey wood flavors of whiskey-soaked Oregon oak.

12 ounce can from Tavour. Jet Black pour. Foamy tan head dissipates quickly to a thin ring. Sweet roasted malt aroma. Notes of coffee, vanilla, oak and whiskey. Added notes of caramel and toasted nuts. Lots of booziness from the 13.7% ABV. Rich and satisfying.

330ml can at Taste of Love, Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with little life. The flavour is roasted malt, light caramel. The flavour is over moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, dry roasty, light coffee, chocolate, big boozy liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice, but at 13.7% the alcohol starts to dominate.

2024 can, but judging by the description it’s the same recipe as 2023. Plenty to like here; lots of anise and dark chocolate and molasses without being sickly sweet, and the Dead Guy whiskey comes through loud and clear on the back end. Tasty pint.
