Oatmeal Stout Aged in McClintock Rye Whiskey Barrels with Vanilla Beans
Can Release 1/9/26 - $26/4-pack
We took our annual vanilla bean barrel-aged imperial stout and cut it down to size! The base stout is half the alcohol strength of Vanilla Threads, the 30 gallon McClintock Rye Whiskey barrels were half the size of standard spirit barrels, and we cut the amount of vanilla in half... wait a second, the recipe says we doubled it from two pounds to four pounds of Madagascar vanilla! All the richness, creaminess, and complexity of a big stout in a more drinkable package!

CANNED ON 01/06/26
L: Very dark brown pour, 2 finger tan head, fizzy foam fades to a collar node of a minute, not very lively.
S: Nutty malt aroma, then vanilla takes over.
T: Sharp overall, medium bitter roasted malts and alcohol somewhat held in check by vanilla sweetness ,only faint barrel character, tastes as though the ABV is much higher.
F: Medium body is thin-ish, low to medium carbonation, rather tongue numbing on the back.
O: Not for me, tastes like the vanilla was added to improve the harsh flavor, just my opinion.
