What Our Editors Thought
“Deep coffee aroma with a bit of blueberry and maple that carries through in the flavor. Mid-sweet with a tightly edited body that’s silky without feeling thick. Energetic roast notes push through with a semisweet chocolate thrust that drives into the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Decadently smooth and thick imperial stout. Big, deep coffee notes dominate the aroma. Coffee, maple syrup, dark chocolate, and vanilla dance around each other, then smoothly transition into a warm finish. Warming alcohol.”
What the Brewers Say
“Showcases maple syrup, vanilla beans, espresso.”
