The Cyclone Series’ first foray into barrel aged beers is nothing short of unique. With our rum distillery in the same building that we make our beer in, it only made sense we would choose to age a beer in rum, not whisky or bourbon, barrels. After over a year of testing and experimenting, we created an inky black porter to carefully age in our Thomas Tew Rum barrels. After just the right amount of aging, the resulting beer is a bold and roasted porter balanced with oak, butter, spice, and rum notes from the barrel aging process.

12 oz Bottle. It’s an ok barrel-aged porter. Weak oak nose with some caramel. Large bubbly head that dies real quick. Very light rum taste in front of malt and oak. Somewhat one-dimensional providing this porter is aged in rum barrels. But it’s not a terrible brew. Just straight forward and simple. ok
