What Our Editors Thought

Sharply defined cinnamon notes play off some vanilla and coconut from the barrel, underpinned by a solid coffee roast. The sip is a touch too sweet—pleasantly softening the spice but dulling the edge as broadcast by the nose. Enjoyable if a bit loose.

What Our Panel Thought

Prominent coffee and cinnamon aroma. Cinnamon and chocolate dominate the flavor with nice coffee under-tones. Balanced roasty backbone and sticky sweetness lead to a fairly clean finish. Very warm and drinkable.

What the Brewers Say

Aged in rye whiskey barrels with coffee and cinnamon added after aging.
