What Our Editors Thought
“Strong bourbon aroma with layers of roast, char, and vanilla-caramel midtones. Bold and spirit-forward in the flavor, round and smooth with glass-coating legs but not syrupy. Sharp and defined with a strong bourbon retronasal linger.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Warming bourbon nose with notes of licorice and nutmeg. Rich, opulent body with multiple layers of flavors: black currant, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, fruity esters, licorice, baking spices. Sweet finish ends with a touch of cinnamon. Layered complexity and baking spices throughout.”
What the Brewers Say
“Double bourbon barrel–aged imperial stout.”
