What Our Editors Thought
“Earthy, woody aromatics, followed by a light umami profile with gentle bitterness. Dried plum and raisin dominate the mid-palate, with leather and tobacco lingering quietly in the background.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Assertive roast character in the aroma accentuated by hints of black tea and earthy coffee. As the roasty heat subsides, tea-like bitterness and hints of boozy vanilla emerge.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout aged in bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels with rooibos and black tea.”
