What Our Editors Thought
“Spice-drawer nose—cacophonous and raucous, with a fresh energy driven by ginger and cinnamon. The sip pushes deep roast and chocolate tones with hefty but quieter cinnamon spice and a soothing sweet body.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Complex spice blend plays nicely with the whiskey notes from the barrel. Cinnamon dominates, with ginger and cardamom. Vanilla brings a rounding sweetness while chocolate notes provide balance.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged Russian imperial stout with vanilla, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, coffee.”
