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.

This one actually has licorice Loryn K. ! But you can hardly taste it, I swear. At least after nearly a year of aging in my fridge. Mostly dang delicious sweet cinnamon and bourbon, promise!

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.

thick like motor oil, tons of bourbon oak, dark chocolate, cinnamon, licorice. Smooth as hell. Slightly boozy but never overwhelming. The barrel aging is amazing. Very rich. Amazing depth. Superb
