What Our Editors Thought

“Beautiful sweet nutty aroma with huge vanilla notes, light roast bitterness around the edges, and a worn-in togetherness. Nimble dark chocolate with caramel overtones. Deft despite its heft.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Rich initial aroma: sweet espresso, chocolate, light fig, currant, floral alcohol. Sweet, with rich dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla. Light brown bread, molasses, sweet pipe tobacco. Coconut largely absent. Quick finish is rich, malty. Thick body. Creamy carb.”

What the Brewers Say

“Aged in Heaven Hill barrels with coconut, marshmallow.”
