What Our Editors Thought
“Chocolate bread-loaf aroma with a touch of anise. Initially sweeter chocolate flavor quickly finds its earthy ground, with a rather pronounced dark-chocolate bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Light coconut aroma, with complementary vanilla and whiskey. Flavor is lightly roasted with subtle coconut. Whiskey is sharp, cleansing in mid-palate. Finish of sweet caramel, roasted malt, significant whiskey. It’s missing the stout smoothness to round it out.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged with toasted coconut, toasted macadamia nut, vanilla.”
