What Our Editors Thought
“Bourbon and yams in the aroma; soft woody spice and a touch of vanillin. Nutty in the sip; strong bourbon notes, significant malt sweetness. A touch of chocolate-malt bitterness pulls it together.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Brown sugar, vanilla, chocolate-dipped macaroons, sweet cookie bars sprinkled with shredded coconut and slivered almonds. Nuttiness adds depth and bitterness. Decadent holiday cookies in liquid form.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial brown ale. Brewed with pecans, milk sugar, vanilla beans, maple syrup, whole pecan pies. Aged in whiskey barrels.”
