A Note on This Beer

When I was a kid, I’d go crazy whenever I got to visit my relatives in NJ. We’d go to Six Flags Great Adventure and ride my favorite coaster — Rolling Thunder, baby! It was a big, wooden beast whose dips and fast turns delivered thrills like no other. 

These days, I get my kicks in more refined ways, like tasting big, wood-aged beers! And man, did I get a rush with today’s highly limited Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout!

Standing at a mighty 13.6% ABV and aged for 9 months in Dead Guy Whiskey Barrels, Rogue Ales’ 2020 vintage delivers unforgettable, roller coaster-esque excitement for your palate!

Breathe in deeply at the start for the full experience, as raisin and earthy, dark chocolate aromas help you steadily climb in for a sip. 

Then, whoa! Flashes of cinnamon spice and coffee on the tongue let you know the flavor adventure is just beginning. 

Weeee! A massive rush of dark cocoa warms you from head to toe. Whiskey-soaked oak makes its way through the chocolate for a lingering finish that makes you want to yell, “Again! Again!”

And you’re not alone. With Untappd reviews like “Yummy! x100! Love it!” (@Scott M. ) and “Holy cow this was nearly perfect!” (@Burt S.), this brew is a ride everyone will gladly wait in line for. 

But no lines for you! Rogue Ales made only 74 barrels of this dark thriller and numbered each bottle by hand so you know where yours stands. Even though they won’t release another batch ‘til next year, you don’t have to queue up at all thanks to your Tavour ‘fast pass’! 

Rated 4.22 on Untappd!

*For those who prefer a gentler ride, no worries, because Rolling Thunder is cellarable. Its rich flavors will smooth out and mellow over time!

wow! powerful but silky smooth! I aged mine an additional 2yrs in the cellar, but this has complex layers of bittersweet dark chocolate, roasted espresso, light mineral earthiness and oak barrel pepperiness! absolutely love the warmth of this one!
