Outliers is our new draft-only series of of single barrel selections and micro blends that are released in very limited quantities. These rare one-offs highlight standout beers that, fortunately or unfortunately, exist in volumes so tiny we’re not able to bottle them. Outliers #1 is a 12% imperial stout aged in a single new American oak (medium toast for the nerds out there) barrel for a year. It’s chewy, bold, velvety, and displays rich notes of vanilla, smoke, wood, marshmallow, chocolate, spice, and toffee.

Sample at RateBeer Best. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of dark malt, bourbon, and chocolate. Taste is bourbon, oak, roasted malt, smoke notes, vanilla, dark chocolate. Maybe a little too heavy on the oak and bourbon, but still good.

Tap @ RB Best. Pours opaque black with a large brown creamy head that dissipates slowly with great lacing. Aroma is molasses, hint of smokiness and ashtray, cocoa, wood tannin. Flavor is light bitter, light plus sweet. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. This is good.
