A Note on This Beer

When Paste Mag tried River North’s Sandman in their blind Imperial Stout taste test, it beat out 100 other beers. As they put it, “the execution was borderline perfect.” 

Enter today’s Irish Whiskey Barrel Mr. Sandman — River North’s boozier, even higher-rated rendition of their fan-adored Sandman Stout. This decadent Dark Beer clocks an ‘outstanding’ 94/100 on BA!  

It has all the roastiness and molasses-like caramelization that impressed Paste Mag’s judges, with added layers of oaky vanilla, Irish whiskey sweetness, and a touch of barrel char. All those decadent flavors roll right over the incredible 12.5% ABV, softening it into super smooth drinkability.

@Colts9016 calls this whiskey variation “far better than the original,” and an absolute “must-try for Stout lovers.” 

If you’re one of the 675 Tavoursters to snag a bottle, you’ll be one of the lucky craft fans outside of Colorado to say you’ve tried some!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Good but doesn’t hold as it warms as well as some other big stouts. Whiskey is very obvious. Overall decently balanced.

Like being kissed by a high leprechaun. Doesn’t warm well. Try too keep cold for as long as possible.

I love me some Mr. Sandman, but the additional notes of Irish whisky in this one kicked all the ass. Definitely ordering the max bottles possible when this is available again.

Whiskey on the nose, along with a little chocolate and roasted malts. Sweet with some coffee notes, but the whiskey is the star here. Smooth, boozy, but not overwhelmingly. Good, but not outstanding for me.

Lots of whiskey that washes out the light stout. Boozy yet still very drinkable.

Definitely a whiskey barrel aged stout. Has a sweetness on the finish. Notes of chocolate after you swallow.
