What Our Editors Thought
“Deep, resounding aroma with spacious vanilla and oak notes over subtle refined dark chocolate. Beautiful balance in the lower midtones with floral vanilla peaks over tightly tuned revs of chocolate and caramel.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Vanilla, whiskey, and dark rye bread in the aroma and flavor, with some dark chocolate and coffee notes. Thick, chewy, substantial, and smooth, finishing off with a pleasant, woody whiskey bite in the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in a single rye whiskey barrel. Conditioned on a blend of vanilla beans.”
