The beer you are about to drink began its journey in 2015 with the procurement of bourbon barrels used to age a cider by our friends at 2 Towns Ciderhouse in Corvallis, OR. The cider's impressive residual flavors of cinnamon & nutmeg inspired Oakshire's brewer's design of this complex Imperial Porter. Dark chocolate aromatics introduce flavors of warm mulled cider, and the distinctive bright apple character blends with roasted malts creating an intriguing and delicious barrel-aged beer.

Bomber from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is mildly apple/cinnamon with a hint of nutmeg. Med body or so. Flavor is very apple/cinnamon/nutmeg with some chocolate aspects. Pleasant, but not quite as “porter” as expected. Fairly dry; some earthy, bitter chocolate. It’s like shooting for Mars and missing by a slight amount. Drinkable, but ????????
