What Our Editors Thought
“Stout-like roast and chocolate notes in the nose, deep but shaped. Barleywine-like in the sip, as chocolate, brown sugar, and burnt caramel push and pull with a woody bitterness. Elegant in its editing.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Medium oak, dark-roasted malt, sweet alcohol in the aroma. Sweet caramel notes. Medium-sweet initial impression, lightened by alcohol warmth, light hop bitterness. Intricate cherry, bourbon, vanilla flavors.”
What the Brewers Say
“Achieves distinct bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, dark coffee notes.”
