What Our Editors Thought
“Rich vanilla and oak aroma with a bit of wood shavings and cellar must. Beautifully expressed vanilla in the flavor with punchy and energetic dark chocolate notes that contrast against the very, very thick body.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Rye-like spice notes in the nose blend with marshmallow. The barrel is star of the sip with oaky tannin bitterness in the initial sip balanced by a pepper- like note and a boozy, sweet vanilla flavor that carries long into the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout aged in rye barrels and conditioned on vanilla beans.”
