Brewed with rye, wheat malt and pecans and partially aged in Bourbon whiskey barrels, this viscous yet silken brew erupts with an oaky, nutty bouquet and rich flavors of vanilla, toast and bitter chocolate.

St John’s is served by TriMet’s #44 and #75 bus lines and is a short ten-minute drive from downtown Portland.
