What Our Editors Thought
“Slightly tropical nose. As oak mellows, the papaya and mango notes emerge like a New Zealand sauvignon blanc. Charred wood with a light herbal amaro bitterness pushes forward in the sip, pleasantly balanced.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Classic C-hop and caramel in the nose with a little wood and some booze. Woodier in the flavor, very cedar-like, as some vanilla and tannins lead the way. Good firm hop bitterness with plenty of alcohol and some caramel and toffee balance.”
What the Brewers Say
“Smooth and layered English barleywine … notes of rich caramel, toffee, and licorice.”
