What Our Editors Thought
“Vinous and licorice notes in the nose backed by a bit of bourbon, vanilla. Flavor is classically executed with dark roast malt, light sweetness that cuts the harsher low tones, balanced booziness and warming barrel tones.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma is a balance of roasted malt, alcohol, oak, vanilla. Light chocolate, soft espresso, fig follow. Flavor features sweet roast malt, chocolate, light whiskey, espresso. Pine notes balance the barrel vanillin.”
What the Brewers Say
“Integrated flavors of vanilla, anise, chocolate, coffee, charred oak.”
