We partnered with our friends at High West® Distillery to create a barrel-aged version of Ballast Point Victory at Sea, our award-winning Imperial Porter with cold-steeped coffee and vanilla. From a blend of Ballast Point Victory at Sea aged in High West’s own bourbon & rye whiskey oak casks, new layers of complexity emerge with notes of soft caramel and smoky oak over a dark chocolate and roasted almond body. High West crafts delicious and distinctive whiskeys to honor the American West, making it the perfect pairing with our signature San Diego-born porter.

Poured a black body with minimal khaki head and minimal lace. Mild roasted aroma with some minor vanilla. Medium body, slick, easy to drink, has a boozy woodiness that is slight and mostly hidden with a coffee and vanilla sweetness and easy to drink.

Bottle from Belmont Station. Dark pour, kind of fizzy. Sweet, Woody aroma. Taste emphasizes the porter, barrel notes take it to the next level. Really nice and smooth.
