What Our Editors Thought
“Curious hop note in the aroma evokes apple and tropical fruit with a tea-like herbal underpinning, alongside the typical caramel and chocolate. Expressive fruity chocolate notes with an ethanol edge in the sip, airy and light.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Apple sweet bourbon on the nose with toffee and caramel. Sweet whiskey in the taste, nicely restrained by hop bitterness. Light cherry notes, bourbon, and a touch of apple in the medium-lasting finish. Substantial amount of alcohol warmth.”
What the Brewers Say
“A blend of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year-old bourbon barrel–aged barleywine.”
