White Out pours a dark chestnut brown. The khaki head leaves a small soapy lace ring which remains around the top of the beer. The spectacular aroma of buttery caramel malt and bourbon hit you first, followed by a subtle citrus fruit. Smooth bourbon oak and vanilla blend well with the sweet caramel malts. White Out goes down smooth with a slow, lingering bitterness.

Poured in a snifter. Darker and more opaque than expected. Noticed the bourbon in the scent right away, mixed with a solid IPA base of enough malts. Very smooth bourbon taste with lingering hop presence, very complimentary to the overall smooth mouthfeel with just enough carbonation. A unique good local find!

poured 500ml bottle into snifter.
A - Dark rusty amber color with a 2 finger of sandy head. Decent retention that leaves a thick collar and spotty lacing.
S - A sweet and hoppy concoction. The sweetness is from the rich malts, brown sugar, toffee, and caramel. Some bourbon and oak along with hops come in with some pine and citrus notes.
T - It starts off with flavors of sweet caramel, brown sugar, and toffee. Hints of bourbon and oak. A nice hop bite helps to balance it out. Bitter pine and bright citrus notes of grapefruit, but there is some boozieness.
M - Medium body and carbonation. Sticky feel and a mild bitter aftertaste.
O - Pretty decent beer that is more of an American Strong Ale after barrel aging it. Fans of Stone Oaked Bastard should enjoy it.

The Hinterland White Out was a solid IPA. I didn't get a lot of Bourbon as compared to other bourbon barreled ales I have tried. Nevertheless the beer had nice bitterness with pine and citrus tones. I poured a hazy amber with white head that left a nice lace. The mouthfeel was fuller in body with decent carbonation. Overall it was good.

Dark brown pour from a 12 oz bottle. An average sized khaki colored head leaves some spotty lacing and dissipates to some thin, scattered foamy bubbles. I check the label again. Imperial IPA.
Smells of strong caramel and toffee. Pretty sweet with a hint of bourbon. Very barelywine or wee heavy like. I don't notice any hops.
Taste follows for the most part. Caramel malts, toffee, and slightly sour dark fruits balance out some of the sweetness. Also, definitely a pronounced oak flavor, hops that were hidden in the aroma, and some slight black peppery spiciness on the end. I would describe it as very rye like. Slightly boozy.
Carbonation is on the lower end. Body overall is on the higher end. Sort of syrupy.
I like this beer. It is a bit of a boozy sipper. I really want to rate it a bit higher, but as an "Imperial IPA" I am not sure. It does have some hoppiness, but otherwise it drinks more like an American barelywine or even a hoppy old ale/wee heavy. I would describe it as a cross between a Dogfish Head Burton Baton and a North Coast Old Stock Ale. I recommend trying.

Had at Hinterland Milwaukee, Pours brilliant brown with a 1” tan head that produces splotchy lace. It starts with a light sweetness and they becomes dry and chocolatey with a pleasamnt balancing bitterness. Dark for an Imperial IPA but rich, tasty and well done. Nice assertive bitterness on the finish.
