What Our Editors Thought
“Sweet caramel and coconut in the aroma with a bit of bourbon vanilla edge. Energetic chocolate liqueur drives the flavor with a sharper presence that falls off into dark-chocolate bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Coffee, vanilla, cinnamon spice in the aroma. Burnt dark chocolate, coffee, and coconut in the flavor with subtle cherry and grape. Assertive alcohol warmth. Very chewy. Sweet, but the coffee and bitter chocolate really balance it.”
What the Brewers Say
“Rich flavors of coffee and semisweet chocolate. Delicate sweetness of toasted coconut and roasted pecans.”
