What Our Editors Thought
“American hop notes play against caramel and chocolate in the nose, dialed back into a subtle interplay that stretches into the flavor, underpinned by a smooth but firm hop bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Wine, chocolate, and wood on the aroma, with notes of sweet vanilla and red licorice. Heavy rich caramel, toffee, and warm rustic-bread malt with spicy bourbon and vinous wine character.”
What the Brewers Say
“Double barrel-aged in bourbon and Carlisle wine barrels.”
