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.

660ml bottle @ tasting 28.11.2020. 2020 vintage. Poured pretty much black in color. cinnamon is strong in the aroma, melasses and roastedness. Some bourbon notes, licorice. On the spicier side really, quite complex. Almondy touch as well.
