From the label“Paying homage to one of our favorite movies here at Thimble Island Brewing Company, this beer is made with huge amounts of fluffy oats and lactose to give you a sweet, thick mouth feel. We used a natural process coffee to give it a unique fruity component yet retaining a lot of that roasted coffee flavor. In the spirit of "The Dude" we added some dark nugget (hops), bringing pine and a nice subtle fruitiness to the nose. Some might say we are Nihilists, but the Beer Abides. So "DONNY GRAB A LANE!"”
