What Our Editors Thought
“Bold American-hop nose with strong orange, lighter lemon, and a touch of herbal forest freshness. Beautifully classic in flavor, as the cascading waves of citrus, chocolate, spruce evoke warm American craft-beer memories.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Nose of dark Belgian chocolate, red fruits, vanilla. Malty layers of toffee, cacao, and burnt bread contrast with a firm bitterness. Full-bodied but not sweet. Solidly a porter.”
What the Brewers Say
“Deeply black porter with a rich base for a firm usage of citrusy and herbal American hops.”
