Boatrocker - Ramjet 2024 BA Imperial Stout 330ml
"STARWARD Whisky Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Rated consistently high on Untappd and Ratebeer (even taking out top 100 beers in the world, plus top beer in Australia). Ramjet is a true Aussie classic, the first of its kind to use locally distilled whisky barrels from STARWARD way back in 2013 as the storage vessel for a big imperial stout.
Released annually in Winter, the base beer rests in freshly emptied STARWARD Nova whisky casks for 6 months. During this time, the beer soaks up the whisky and some luscious wood flavours, resulting in a big, bold beer that is a reflection of the barrels' previous inhabitant, exquisite cask strength Nova. Then comes the malt, both sweet and roasty, with a depth of flavour added by the wood. Lastly, there is a lick of delicate red wine character which is what the casks were used for before the whisky went in. The 2024 vintage was aged in a majority of ex-American oak casks, which lends a delicious coconut and vanillin character.
This beer will age superbly, up to 5 years or more, which will see further integration of the whisky, and a delicious rounding of character." -Boatrocker
