What Our Editors Thought
“Layered nose with chocolate, a bit of amaro-like herbs, a faint sweet smokiness, and a bit of coffee-like roast. Grippy in the flavor as the initial sweet burst immediately resolves with a light tannic drying, highlighting smooth bitter malt below.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Devil’s food chocolate cake on the nose, with rye spiciness. Some cherry and liqueur-filled chocolate flavors with more rye spiciness and barrel tannins. A little on the bitter side. A bit hot and unbalanced.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blend of imperial stouts aged in rye casks.”
