What Our Editors Thought
“Dry, roasted-malt note with charred wood, dark chocolate, crunchy caramel in the nose alongside a lively whiskey note. Sweeter dark caramel flavor with an almost deep-roasted peanut edge.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The bourbon, vanilla, toffee, caramel in the nose supports a gingerbread- crossed-with-cola character. Flavors are complex, with notes of dried fruit, toffee, caramel cookies, raisins, figs.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blended from a single barleywine recipe, aged in three different barrels.”
