What Our Editors Thought
“Fruity esters lift the aroma, while assertive bitterness and coffee define the palate. Notes of cocoa powder, toffee, and orange peel trail into a dry, pleasant finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Ample fruity esters on the nose, plus licorice, brown sugar, Heath bar, and light coffee. Rich palate, with a vinous character resembling cabernet sauvignon. Black currant, licorice, sweet fruit esters. Sweet and hot finish with lingering chocolate and a pleasing bitterness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Silky-smooth mouthfeel. Notes of cacao, toffee, toasted sugar cookie, molasses, and dark red cherry.”
