What Our Editors Thought

“Strong, vinous aroma like Port wine, with chocolate and earth. Sweeter red-wine notes in the sip, with indulgent caramel and coconut.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Big bourbon-barrel notes. Big milk-chocolate malt notes that the alcohol helps balance. Heavy Tootsie Roll, toffee, molasses, and burnt fruit (plum, dates, figs). Medium-sweet and spicy bourbon, low tannins, tart dark fruits. Almost drinks like a dessert stout.”

What the Brewers Say

“Brewed with floor-malted Maris Otter and a touch of wheat.”
