What Our Editors Thought
"Tightly focused bourbon nose—hefty spirits and a touch of licorice. Light body lets the roast and barrel push through, with acrid and astringent notes, tempered by a significant and unsupported sweetness."
What Our Panel Thought
"Medium-high roast chocolate aroma with spicy bourbon, sharp and hot, with vinous and dried-fruit notes. Dark chocolate flavor with cloves—sweet, warming bourbon. Low acidic touch."
What the Brewers Say
"Smooth with tons of cocoa and a hint of bourbon."
