What Our Editors Thought

“Deep butterscotch, toffee in the aroma with a bit of sugar wafer cookie and a slight boozy back note. Energetic in the sip with a zippy carbonation that pulls out leather and vague dark fruit before diving into a bitter chocolate finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Moderate toffee, toasted caramel, figs, dates, and light oak vanillin tannins. Medium-high sweet brown sugar with rich dark fruits and spicy bourbon. Sweet bourbon-barrel flavor.”

What the Brewers Say

“Caramel, toffee, barrel, and a touch of chicory. A balanced sweetness.”
