What Our Editors Thought
“Smoked brisket and chocolate caramel sundae in the nose, settling into a chocolate flavor with a bit of dry tannic spiciness. Beautiful silky texture.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Refined leather and charred oak with sweeter vanilla in the aroma. Concise and brooding in the flavor, structured despite the sweetness. Satisfying with a remarkable drinkability. Cloudy and almost pétillant. Hides its ABV very well—it’s not hot at all.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged ryewine. Notes of stewed stone fruit, tobacco, and spice.”
