Monterey, CA
What Our Editors Thought
“Slightly spicy oak with dark caramel and a funky musty-cellar aroma, overtopped with strong whiskey. Sweet but deep in the sip with prominent bitter dark chocolate. Lingers with strong chocolate-liqueur and oak-tannin notes.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Dark-fruit and toffee aroma with notable alcohol. Complex flavor with layers of toffee, dark fruits, bread crusts. Finish is slightly sweet with earthy hops.”
What the Brewers Say
“Caramel, coconut, toasted marshmallow skin, Raisinets lend themselves to a classic profile of tobacco, leather, fig.”
