What Our Editors Thought
“Creamy, rounded aromatics lean heavily into vanilla and marshmallow fluff. Barrel character is present but restrained, with a welcoming hint of roast that adds structure without disrupting the softness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Marshmallowy vanilla up front, bit of chocolate-wafer cookie and spirit follow. Chocolate fudginess, chocolate cake, lots of vanilla, some barrel presence comes through strongly. A bit of a cola-like, prickly finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout aged in Willett Bourbon barrels, then finished with vanilla beans.”
