What Our Editors Thought
“Dark fruit aroma with a strong coffee note, and an unexpected touch of deep balsamic and concentrated earthy almond in the background. Sweet initially in the sip, with a nutty deep malt edge that echoes molasses. Quirky full finish as the nuts and sweetness linger.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Beautiful! Sweet, toasty aroma of vanilla, light chocolate, coffee. Strong sweet espresso, chocolate, vanilla flavors—like a premium dark chocolate Mounds bar. Quite sweet, but nicely balanced. The mouthfeel is almost velvet. Lovely richness in the flavor. Medium-full body, solid carb. Smooth alcohol.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout. Coffee, coconut, and Papuan vanilla.”
