What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Rich blend of chocolate, coffee, and roast with a dose of malt and vanilla sweetness. Roast comes through a bit sharp, but not harsh. Coffee is bright and acidic, and brings a dark fruit character.”Flavor: “A healthy balance of sweet and roast, each making the other better. Perfect mouthfeel, with a nice creaminess and fudginess to balance out some perceived booziness and heavy roast. A sweet coffee note and the vanilla spice linger and jump out in between the heavy roast flavors, providing a wonderful depth.”Flavor: “A healthy balance of sweet and roast, each making the other better.

Very drinkable.”
