From the brewer

Rankin is our Farmhouse Imperial Stout aged in Westland ex-bourbon casks. Not only do we have the base beer available, but also two brand new variants, all clocking in around 13%.

Aged for 6 months in Westland casks, this year’s batch is drier and boozier than past versions, with a rich and full mouthfeel. Luxuriant aromas of dark cocoa, vanilla bean, and salted toffee are enveloped by a woodsy funk and slight tartness from our house culture.

Who's been drinking this

Batch No. 3 release
Wasn't a huge fan - hits you with a ton of whisky up front and the aging is on the sour side. It's not quite as "turned" tasting as I've encountered at places like Big Block, but this isn't really my favorite kind of stout.
