What Our Editors Thought

“Boozy saddle leather, hay, oak, and nutty aroma. Flashes sweet before tannins cut the caramel notes in the flavor then linger in the dark chocolate finish. Indulgent start, taut finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Heavy bourbon- and rum-barrel character, spicy alcohol with candied toffee, maple, rum, caramel. Low roast malt, raisins, figs with bigger barrel notes.”

What the Brewers Say

“A blended barleywine-style ale aged in bourbon and rum barrels.”
