About This Beer
River North’s Mr. Sandman is one of the craft world’s most beloved dark beers. Heck, when Paste Mag conducted a blind tasting of 102 different Imperial Stouts, it ended up in first place! And this version is even smoother and more complex than the original, thanks to a 21-month-long rest in Colorado whiskey barrels.
Tasting Notes
Each decadent sip floods the palate with notes of caramel-drizzled dates and ripples of baker’s chocolate. A kiss of whiskey and oaky vanilla lingers after a velvety finish, barely leaving a trace of the 14.6% ABV.

Those was delicious. I’m docking it a touch because it was thinner than I expected, but the barrel flavor still came through. Another banger from River North.

This is a very good, no-adjunct ba stout. The whiskey barrel is pronounced but not too much. Sweet, caramelly taste.

Love the dates and vanilla oak finish. Not boozy for 14.6% ABV.
Wish it were a thicker/heavier consistency but good flavor.
