About This Beer

Meet the number 1 English Oatmeal Stout in the world according to BeerAdvocate! Aged 15 months in 8 to 12-year-old bourbon barrels with brewer’s licorice and cassia cinnamon bark, this beast sings with layers of dark cocoa and spice atop a finely-tuned oak and whiskey profile.

Tasting Notes

With the first sip, you’ll notice each element present in a thick, chewy mouthfeel full of dark chocolate, leather, raisins, molasses, and a touch of smoke. Meanwhile, the 13.3% ABV is completely cloaked behind rich aromas of caramelized sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Dark, sweet, bourbon, a bit of a candy flavor. Expected something else when I saw it had licorice and cinnamon bark

Truly a great beer. Very nice combination of cinnamon and licorice that mixes well with the stout base.

Prominent cinnamon - perhaps a tad heavy handed for me, liquorice, coconut, chocolate, syrup.

Chocolate, dark fruits and cinnamon develop into bourbon, black licorice, vanilla, and cola, finish is burnt brown sugar and dark fruit.
