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.

Bottle (barrel 6 of 31, bottle 367 of 413). Pitch black with a tiny off white head. Fairly subtle aroma, raisins, toasty notes, tannins from the wood, alcohol. Chocolate notes, nutty, tannins, alcohol, ending nicely roasty, bitterish and slightly lean. A very good BA RIS, not spectacular, but does its job well.

Bottle. A dark brown to black beer with a minimal sized beige head. Roasted malts, coffee, some dark dried fruits, alcohol and a touch of cellar in the aroma. It's full bodied, warming, soft and smooth with flavors of roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, alcohol and a light spiced, herbal hint. Lasting finish. Intense but nice. 190913

Malt and roast aroma and taste. Malt forward it fairly screams malt. Barrel edge to the beer but it's a beer not a barrel. Chocolate and vanilla finish

Black with thin tan head. Malty aroma. Full, almost overwhelming flavour with coffee, malt and chocolate notes. Malty finish. Well worth the price.
