What Our Editors Thought
“Keebler Fudge Stripes cookie in the nose with a buzzy vanilla/marshmallow note the whiskey amplifies. Semisweet chocolate outpaces the sweeter elements in the flavor, as the vanilla takes on a nuttier character. Thinner body doesn’t linger.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Marshmallow dominates the nose and flavor. Simple malt flavor, leaving graham cracker, dark chocolate, light marshmallow-vanilla to dominate. That spells s’mores. Dash of cinnamon spice, a hint of smokiness retronasally.”
What the Brewers Say
“Like eating s’mores around the campfire and sippin’ a good bourbon.”
