What Our Editors Thought
“Strong layered caramel notes in the aroma with just a bit of stone fruit and oak tannin. Peach cobbler and caramelized sugar in the flavor, with a tangy backing spice that keeps it from being cloying.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Bourbon notes with delightful dark and candied fruits and blackberry on the aroma. Flavor has some chocolate-cake notes, red grapes, with a bit of hazelnut. Vinous cognac character. Nice balance of sweetness with alcohol and a satisfying astringent finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“A blend of bourbon and cognac barrel–aged barleywine.”
