What Our Editors Thought
“Curiously deep spirits nose, more layered than singular with cinnamon, roasted almond, and vinous highlights. Subtle chai spice and cassia add dimension to the rich caramel and hot chocolate of the sip.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Dark fruit, light caramel, and whiskey in the nose. Burnt toast and bitter dark malts lead into a sweet, deep butterscotch finish. Huge chocolate and roast notes, stone fruit mixed with subtle leather.”
What the Brewers Say
“Strong ale bases aged on Cognac, bourbon, and Calvados barrels for one to two years.”
