Rusty Nail – Double Barrel (2025)

Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Licorice and Cinnamon Barrel

The Rusty Nail Double Barrel begins as The First Nail, an epic oatmeal stout with brewer's licorice, smoked barley, and light malt, then matures in cinnamon bark. After 18 months in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels and then 4 months in Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon barrels, it becomes The Rusty Nail Double Barrel.

Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Vienna, Midnight Wheat, rolled oats, roasted barley, and smoked malts with Magnum and US Goldings hops, along with brewer's licorice and cinnamon bark.
Aroma: Molasses, chocolate, caramel, toffee, and vanilla, cinnamon and more spicy aromas, whiskey, dried fruit, oak, leather, and licorice.
Taste: Very sweet with a slight bitterness.
