About This Beer

Fremont took select vintages of The Rusty Nail BA Imperial Oatmeal Stout, AKA the #1 Oatmeal Stout in the world according to BeerAdvocate, and married it with a rich Porter specifically designed for this blend. The combination of 2-Row Pale, Vienna, Midnight Wheat, flaked oats, roast barley, and smoked malts creates a stunningly roasty backbone for the additions of cassia cinnamon chips and brewer’s licorice to shine over.

Tasting Notes

Look forward to notes of chocolate-covered dates colliding with drizzles of caramel, cinnamon, and star anise. A whisper of smoke should linger on the finish, melding magically with hints of vanilla oak and top-shelf bourbon.

This was a big surprise. Lots of holiday spice flavors mixed with some reliably great stout and ale bases. It tasted like a holiday brew, which is high praise from my seat.

Not a poor man’s Rusty Nail, but pleasant. Spiced chocolate up front, with a mild dryness on the finish. Not what I expected at all.

Aromas of cinnamon, star anise, and a little vanilla. Moderate carbonation, thicker mouthfeel as it warms. Taste follows the nose, with some chocolate and bourbon.

A ton of anise in aroma w/notes of bourbon, chocolate, & cinnamon in background. Taste follows aroma w/cinnamon taking over star role. Fun cuvée!
