Our 2019 Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout was aged for 9 months in handmade Rolling Thunder Barrel Works barrels previously used to age our Dead Guy Whiskey. This one-of-a-kind imperial stout can be enjoyed right away or cellared for years. Either way it's best shared among friends.
We skipped the fruit this year to let the stout and whiskey barrel shine. Rich, viscous notes of chocolate and coffee combine flawlessly with flavors of whiskey-soaked Oregon oak.

Malt and roast aroma and taste. Malt forward it fairly screams malt. Barrel edge to the beer but it's a beer not a barrel. Chocolate and vanilla finish
