What Our Editors Thought
“Vivid coffee aromatics hit immediately, layered with chocolate, molasses, and caramel. White pepper, pipe tobacco, and anise add to the complexity, with oak and vanilla rounding out a well-composed finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Strong nose, and the flavor takes the coffee experience even further, with bright red-currant acidity, a deep, rich roastiness, and hints of booze and oak. Creates the impression of an elevated coffee-shop experience in boozy beer form.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blended barrel-aged imperial stout conditioned on Sumatra coffee beans.”
