What Our Editors Thought
“Fruity esters lead with orange peel and blueberry, giving way to coffee bitterness that complements the barrel sweetness. Light body and an alcohol warmth help soften sharper edges.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Chocolate, whiskey, vanilla in the aroma. A lot of barrel comes through on the first sip, with coffee and chocolate taking a back seat. Plum, raisin, licorice in the flavor. Lighter body emphasizes the spirit.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout aged in used whiskey barrels. Infused with local coffee and cocoa nibs.”
