What Our Editors Thought
“Alluring nose with a cocktail note—orange bitters, chocolate ganache, espresso. Full in the sip, yet firmly structured by strong but refined chocolate and roast bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Big bourbon notes dominate the aroma. Flavor leads with orange peel. Chocolate and vanilla meld nicely with the orange to provide an enticing chocolate-orange-slice character. Finish is dominated by dark roast, which helps offset the sweetness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Bourbon barrel–aged imperial stout steeped with orange peel, cacao nibs, vanilla beans.”
