What Our Editors Thought
“Hearty whole-grain bread aroma with a slight nutty tinge. Subtle umami note in the sip adds to the richness, despite the otherwise trim body.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Faint bread-crust aroma with dark fruit, warming alcohol, sherry-like oxidation. Thin mouthfeel, boozy on first impression. Complex, with caramel and a lot of fruit character; dark cherry with faint coffee and herbal hops that linger. Light body, clean finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“North Carolina craft malt, single-decoction mash, and hopped with Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. Rested cold in our oak puncheons for eight weeks.”
