What Our Editors Thought
“Toasted bread crust and vanilla aroma with faint dark chocolate notes, a bit like a chocolate croissant with flaky indulgent layers. Tighter chocolate in the sip with light charred-wood bitterness and soft caramel edges.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Light bourbon and vanilla across the nose. Soft, elegant body oozes sweet bourbon wrapped in a vanilla-cherry truffle. Bracing hop bitterness balances rich, sweet caramel malt.”
What the Brewers Say
“Black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, roast coffee. Notes of cereal grain, toasted coconut, cocoa nibs.”
