What Our Editors Thought

“Chocolate muffin and 50 percent cacao bar in the nose, with some toasted coconut top-notes that saturate the flavor alongside brown-sugar streusel. Doesn’t drink boozy, but the bourbon-soaked exhale tells another story.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Dark, deep, and boozy on the nose. Layered milk and dark chocolate in the flavor with caramel, light roast. Sweet, fudge-like chocolate leads into prunes, dates, and light cherries midpalate.”

What the Brewers Say

“Imperial stout aged in Willett Rye barrels for 34 months.”
