What Our Editors Thought
“Enticing aromatics of dark chocolate and caramelized sugar lead into a firm bitterness that helps to rein in the sweetness. Rich brownie batter fills the midpalate, layered with oaky vanilla and earthy barrel tones.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Roast malt, cocoa, vanilla swirl together in the nose, complemented by an earthy nuttiness and a healthy dose of booze. More booze and warmth early in the sip, but as that heat subsides, chocolate and oily, nutty notes.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in bourbon barrels. Conditioned on cacao nibs and walnuts.”
