What Our Editors Thought
“Bold from the outset, with up-front and unapologetic coffee bitterness. Sweet tobacco and dark chocolate follow, while oats soften the edges of the roasted malts.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Comfortingly strong, smooth coffee roast throughout with dark, bitter baker’s chocolate in the nose. Dark-fruit flavors take a back seat but complement with notes of fig and dried prune. Multilayered Dutch chocolate brownie batter with rich cocoa husk. Pleasant, clean, dry grainy finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Roasty and rich with notes of espresso, Tootsie Roll, and raw cacao.”
