This mighty collaboration came about through a mutual admiration and shared ethos; consistently brewing with conviction and innovation. "Sine metu", or "without fear", reads the motto on every Jameson bottle, a creed that resonates with Beavertown’s own ideology, and one that definitely comes into play in the creation of this bold, ballsy, limited edition imperial stout, aged in Jameson whiskey barrels.
The name was inspired by "Ger", the fifth generation master Cooper at the Jameson distillery, a perfect example of passion and pride. ’Ger’onimo!’ is also the unofficial cry of paratroopers, used to express fearlessness or bravery as they leap, as one, to their designated destination. The similar practices of Jameson and Beavertown make for an ideal collaboration; a marriage of craft and flavours.

Bottle from the cellar. A thick dark black brown coloured pour with a fading loose dark tan head. Aroma is meaty roast, boozy wood, raisin, roast, boozy cakey malts, Flavour is composed of salty roast, nice tirmisu, coffee , black roast, spicy wood, woody whisky, lingering salty roast. Palate is semi sweet, oily, rounded, fine carbonation. Nice intense roast. This has aged very well.

Bottle. Cellar dweller, obvs. Pours deep chestnut brown. Slim ring of tan. Nose has soy. Earthy roast malt. Dark chocolate. Taste has a deep savoury bitterness, with a vinous twang and some chocolate sweetness on the lips. Pretty smooth and easy drinking, with lots of life left in it. Earthy bitterness to finish, losing the soy thing on the way. Held up well I’d imagine, although this is the first (and probably last) pop at it.

Pours dark black with a bit of foam. Aroma is sweet, bit of whisky character, not overpowering but nice. Smoky, peaty, and leathery. Taste is quite dry, some fruit character but not sweet - which is I do like. Dry bitter chocolate, I like this one quite a lot.

Pitch black color. Lots of charcoal, peat and some iodine notes. Not as ashy as I might expect. Full bodied, well integrated.

Poured into a taster showing deep dark brown in the center with light coffee rims. The nose shows a lot of peaty whiskey notes and a steady sweet malt note throughout. Hints of soy sauce throughout. The palate is light bodied and lightly carbonated. Dark peaty whiskey notes intertwined with roasted malts. Finish with notes of dark chocolate.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque brown/black with a thin but enduring crema head. Like a dark chocolate, drinking chocolate. Nose - dark rich chocolate, intriguing, light booze note but not intrusive. Taste - dark chocolate, booze again and light coconut. Palate - full bodied with a big creamy yet sweet and at the same time dry texture. The finish is long dry tangy, sweet at the same time. Overall - stunning!
