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.

THT. Vintage 2017. Dark roast, massive cinnamon, big bourbon barrel. Ho-ly-shit. Smeary greasy sticky sweet motherfucker. Still as impressive as I remember it.

Pours pitch black and a dark brown head that doesn't last long. Aroma's: full on cinnamon, with some red fruit and some roast. Retronasal there's cinnamon, bourbon, molasses, red fruit, spices and some roast. Flavour is heavy sweet but not cloying, fruity, light roasty. Alcohol is warming, but not burning. Full bodied. Long finish, roasty, cinnamon, light bitter.
