Aged 18 months in a WhistlePig 10 Year Rye Whiskey barrel plus18 months in a Heaven Hill bourbon barrel, this monstrously huge imperial oatmeal milk stout is dripping with drying oak tannin and tongue-tingling booze. Seriously, it’s friggin’ huge. Oh yeah, there’s some Tahitian vanilla in there too.

This was the star of the October release draft list. Here’s hoping they can something similar for one of next year’s releases. Really complex flavor.

Had this on draft 10/19/19 @ Revolution's Taproom.

Midnight black appearance with minimal tan head.

Brandy, vanilla, fresh earth & mild oak notes in the nose. Enticing!

Thick, sticky mouthfeel.

Brandy, vanilla & fresh earth flavors up front; milk chocolate & faint booze heat notes on the finish.

Complex, tasty & somehow easy to quaff...yowza!
