A very logical outcome and collaboration. I am not surprised and am very pleased.

Very interesting.  So are they distilling the actual finished beer or is it the base malt recipe without hops added?

The article says they are making whiskey from SA Boston Lager and Cinder Bock.  I'm guessing that the Boston Larger is the same, but the Cinder Bock is a new recipe that is lightly hopped or not hopped at all.

It is my experience that whiskey made from hopped beer has a funky flavor to it.  Components of the hops flavors definely carry over in the ethanol vapor. Not necessarily bad flavors , but not really desirable flavors either - IMHO.   I don't know that you would pick the flavors out as being hops.  Just kinda funky...

I find it reminiscent of tequila.

Boston Larger?  I think that would be a great name for an imperial version of their beer.

Am I the only one who finds the word "cinder" unappealing in a beer name?

I'll be anxiously awaiting the release of this product.  Being a beer and whiskey fan, it sounds like it has potential.  I'll give it a try at the very least.

I asked Deschutes this question about a month ago and they said they do not currently make it but will be bringing it back for special releases from time to time.  Personally, I was bummed as Cinder Cone was one of my favorites and was what I based my Amber/Red ale on.
