What Our Editors Thought
“The aroma evokes nitro cold-brew coffee with a pump of vanilla—nutty with strong milk chocolate. Cherry tones appear in the flavor, like chunks swimming in a pint of chocolate ice cream. Unusual but engaging.”
What Our Panel Thought
“This is a dessert. The aroma is marzipan, with some cherry, candied toasted pecans, a little crème brûlée, and woody notes. Medium-bodied mouthfeel with medium acidity. Finishes semidry.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged dark sour ale with toasted pecan and vanilla bean.”
