What Our Editors Thought
“Big marshmallow, white chocolate, and nutty tones in the aroma with a boozy butterscotch edge. Less sweet in the flavor than the aroma implies, with a broad nutty midtone and chocolate undertones to balance the sweeter vanilla highs.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Huge vanilla in the nose evokes hints of marshmallow, vanilla nougat, vanilla ice cream with hints of toffee, caramel, macadamia nut, chocolate to balance. The macadamia-nut and vanilla interaction distracts you from the hefty booze notes.”
What the Brewers Say
“Whiskey barrel–aged barleywine with vanilla and macadamia nuts.”
