The Rusty Nail begins life as The First Nail, an oatmeal stout of epic proportions with brewer’s licorice, smoked barley, and pale malt and is then aged on cinnamon bark. She becomes The Rusty Nail after spending 15 months in 12-year old bourbon barrels. The Rusty Nail pounds your palate, challenges your perception of all that you’ve known of beer, and leaves you wanting … another sip. “A fine beer may be judged by one sip, but it’s better to be thoroughly sure.” – VWP.

Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2023 (MBCC Day 1) - Intense dark sweet malty with so much going on, high complexity at play with lots of cocoa and liquorice, brown sugar, caramel entwined, full body, bourbon soaked lingering malty close. Gorgeous.

A deep dark stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light bourbon barrel, alcohol warmth, very nice and rich. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light cinnamon, bourbon barrel notes, woody notes, alcohol warmth, very nice.

Bottle shared by pictoman, many thanks! Really intense, very full body, med-high carbonation. Overwhelming (but in a good way) amount of chocolate, cocoa, light coffee. Shitloads of bourbon, coconut, medium liquorice and cinnamon. Really rewarding sipper, complex, intense, tasty, interesting. Excellent.
