What Our Editors Thought

“Smooth roast coffee and hazelnut in the aroma, with a big vanilla envelope that amplifies the sweet appeal. Cacao husk and chocolate lead the fluffy sip with a polished bitterness. Dynamic push-pull between perception in the aroma and flavor.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Cocoa nibs, chocolate syrup, vanilla, chocolate-covered cherries, coffee, and roastiness in the aroma. Tastes like a lava cake with bold bourbon to balance the Hershey’s syrup. Hint of woody spice.”

What the Brewers Say

“Aged in Heaven Hill barrel, with coffee and vanilla.”
