Rated consistently high on Untappd and Ratebeer (even taking out top 100 beers in the world, plus top beer in Australia). Ramjet is a true Aussie classic, the first of its kind to use locally distilled whisky barrels from STARWARD way back in 2013 as the storage vessel for a big imperial stout.

Released annually in Winter, the base beer rests in freshly emptied STARWARD Nova whisky casks for 6 months. During this time, the beer soaks up the whisky and some luscious wood flavours, resulting in a big, bold beer that is a reflection of the barrels’ previous inhabitant, exquisite cask strength Nova. Then comes the malt, both sweet and roasty, with a depth of flavour added by the wood. Lastly, there is a lick of delicate red wine character which is what the casks were used for before the whisky went in. The 2024 vintage was aged in a majority of ex-American oak casks, which lends a delicious coconut and vanillin character.

 This beer will age superbly, up to 5 years or more, which will see further integration of the whisky, and a delicious rounding of character.
