What Our Editors Thought
“Toast and burnt bread crust in the aroma with light herbal hops. The sip is viscous and tongue-coating with notes of chocolate orange and a slightly rough bitter chocolate finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Heavy roast and huge dark malt component in the aroma and flavor. Pleasant mouthfeel with a semisweet chocolate finish. Cigar butts and coffee, burnt caramel, pine hops, ash. In your face and ragged, like a stout equivalent of the 100-IBU IPAs of the early ’00s. Complex and interesting.”
What the Brewers Say
“An ode to the almighty pumpernickel bread.”
