Like the reverb of an amp, barrels add a dynamic to beer that builds upon layers of flavor. We chose American Single Malt Whiskey Barrels from Westland Distillery to be our amplifier. This beer is a blend of three batches of our Shuksan Russian Imperial Stout: one aged 10 months in barrels, and two batches made with different yeast strains. Together we have created a beer that is robust, smooth, and elegant. The sharp tones of whiskey and oak cut through the sweet chocolate and coffee notes to produce a complex richness able to turn any evening up to eleven.
