What Our Editors Thought
"Dark cocoa, red wine, and light char. Sturdy, broad-shouldered sip, rich but not sweet, cohesive despite varied flavors. Firm, rounded tobacco bitterness lingers deep into the smooth finish. Luxurious."
What Our Panel Thought
"Rich aroma: nuts, whiskey, dark fruit, woody-vanilla, coconut. Big caramel sweetness in flavor dovetails with roast and hop bitterness. Thick, fluffy, syrupy body."
What the Brewers Say
"Aged in hand-selected special bourbon whiskey barrels and finished in port-wine barrels."
