What Our Editors Thought

“Persistent, light tan head on a deep brown body. Strong vanilla note in the nose, with a brown-butter unctuousness that draws you in. Lighter and semidry in the sip, less ‘pastry’ than the nose promises, with very light roast bitterness and just a hint of hop structure that keeps it together. Surprising in its restraint.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Fig Newtons on the aroma—crumbly, slightly toasted, soft crust wrapped around some chewy, sweet figs. Cookie dough in the flavor creates a thick mouthfeel and decadent quality. Caramel sweetness, chocolaty depths, mysterious dark, jammy fruits combine to create a fascinatingly complex beer with layers of cookie goodness.”

What the Brewers Say

“Treat yourself to our seasonal milk stout brewed with a special rotating cookie-inspired flavor.”
