What Our Editors Thought

“Dry cocoa powder and ground coffee on the aroma set the tone. Bittersweet chocolate carries through a soft mid-body with residual bitterness, while subtle floral notes lift the profile into a dry, pleasant finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Aroma of milk chocolate gives way to deep roasted coffee, cocoa powder, and dank hops. The flavor is rich with cacao, with dark chocolate, a hint of light spice, and light caramel as it warms. Big, bold flavors.”

What the Brewers Say

“Half of the grist is caramel or roasted grains, enhanced by aging on some cocoa nibs.”
