What Our Editors Thought

“Crystal malt dark fruit and a touch of tobacco in the nose—rich but rugged. Beautifully staggered caramel and toasted-malt layers, polished and warm with nutty overtones.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Toffee aroma with hints of vanilla, caramel, raisin, chocolate, and apple. The flavor blast of brown sugar and caramel quickly melts into a complex blend of toffee, coffee, vanilla, crème brûlée, and spiced-rum.”

What the Brewers Say

“Floor-malted English barley, Noble hops, and aged in 10–15-year-old bourbon barrels.”
