What Our Editors Thought
“Nutty aroma with a bourbon-like sweetness; swirling vanilla-caramel notes with a touch of strawberry carry through into the chocolate-forward sip. Unusual yet intriguing.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Fruity esters come out in the aroma, strawberry and stone fruit. Sweet, with an assertive alcohol warmth that transitions into some barrel character. As it warms, an interesting toffee and butterscotch component comes out to play. Like a Tootsie Roll vodka with a light cedar note as it warms.”
What the Brewers Say
“An intense schwarzbier aged on palo santo, a uniquely aromatic hardwood.”
