What Our Editors Thought

“Curious citrus-hop notes in the aroma, with some stone-fruit malt, fermentation hints, and oak barrel. Hops structure the sip, with light herbal bitterness in place of roast malt. Friendly, lighthearted take.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Wood-aged aromas with rum, spice, chocolate, burnt toffee, coffee. Some green apple and roasted green pepper. Flavor is more balanced, with sweet milk-chocolate character that isn’t overpowered by the bourbon barrel.”

What the Brewers Say

“Bourbon barrel–aged imperial stout blend.”
