What Our Editors Thought
“Plush velvet, hookah-bar, head-shop spice nose with brighter chocolate caramel notes. Mid-key with energetic bready and caramel notes in the flavor, bright and lively.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aromatic sweet dark cherries, dark chocolate, and vanilla. Cognac and bourbon offers an exciting combination that finishes sweet with notes of light roast, dark cherries, pale chocolate, and rich toffee. Very smooth flavor. Low carbonation and semisweet in the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“A blend of barleywine aged in cognac, Calvados, and bourbon barrels.”
