Boatrocker Ramjet 2024 330ml

Consistently rated highly on platforms such as Untappd and Ratebeer, Ramjet stands as a quintessential Australian classic. Distinct for being the first to utilize locally distilled whisky barrels from STARWARD in 2013, this imperial stout has secured its place among the top tier of global beers, including recognition as the premier beer in Australia.

Ramjet is released annually during the Winter season, with the base beer maturing for six months in freshly emptied STARWARD Nova whisky casks. This maturation process allows the stout to absorb both the whisky and the rich wood flavors, culminating in a robust beer that mirrors the character of its former cask occupant, the exquisite cask strength Nova. The malt profile, both sweet and roasted, gains further complexity from the wood, adding depth to the flavor. A subtle hint of red wine character, a testament to the casks' previous use prior to housing whisky, rounds out the taste profile. The 2024 vintage, aged primarily in ex-American oak casks, introduces enticing notes of coconut and vanillin, enhancing its already intricate flavor spectrum.
