What Our Editors Thought
“Spicy Turkish coffee in the aroma with just a touch of green pepper. Peppery in the flavor with a bit of pistachio. Thick, but dry.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma features coffee strongly, with cinnamon and chocolate in the background. The flavor is more complex, with cinnamon and chocolate balancing the coffee, vanilla in a supporting role. Undertones of sweet pipe tobacco. Alcohol is evident but not harsh. Wonderfully balanced.”
What the Brewers Say
“BBA imperial stout with coffee, cacao nibs, cinnamon, and vanilla bean.”
