What Our Editors Thought
"Bourbon, dark cherries, cocoa, and burnt-sugar caramel drive the nose. The sip pushes dry cocoa forward, for heavy chocolate without excessive sweetness. Light body never quite brings the expected oomph."
What Our Panel Thought
"Semisweet nose: coffee, cocoa, cinnamon. Sweet up front; lingering coffee and chocolate flow underneath. Smooth, appealing. Dry, roast-coffee finish with spicy barrel, which masks some softer traits."
What the Brewers Say
"Hibernates for 11 months, picking up notes of caramel, spice, and oak complexity."
