What Our Editors Thought

“Light aroma with subtle nutty and caramel tones. Similarly light flavor, despite the strength, with a refined nimble body, light cooked-sugar note, and just a hint of wood tannin to balance.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Nice dark vinous note on the nose with notes of caramel, peanut brittle, and molasses praline. Juicy and coating in the flavor, with a dark-chocolate note behind that holds it together.”

What the Brewers Say

“Spirit, fig jam, date shake, and port on the nose. Flavors of toffee and crème brûlée. Restrained sweetness.”
