Lervig Rackhouse From Norway With Love: Last year, Amundsen (Oslo) visited us and we put a velvety imperial stout into freshly emptied bourbon barrels. After 14 months, we pulled the beer and added over a quarter-tonne of peanuts. A touch of salt provides the perfect balance to the sweet and savory roasted-nut flavor, while the bourbon gives finishing notes of vanilla, oak and caramel.
