What Our Editors Thought
“Spicy aroma with big layers of plum, red wine, long-aged cellar must, and boozy chocolate. Layers of caramel, peanut, and brown sugar in the flavor, cemented on a firm, earthy chocolate base.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Luxurious chocolate, toffee, butterscotch, crème brûlée, marshmallow, brown sugar, and blackberries. Big mouthfeel borders on cloying but has enough fruity and warming alcohol to ensure it’s sipped, not quaffed.”
What the Brewers Say
“On the nose and initial sip, bright Bing cherry and plum.”
