What Our Editors Thought
“Deep chocolate with slightly fruity malt notes in the aroma. Flavor hits the full spectrum from dark chocolate through burnt-sugar midtones, cherry and berry hints, and a warming whiskey note that lingers in the throat.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Fudgy chocolate on the nose. Dark chocolate molten lava cake with a flambé of rye whiskey. Some dark red fruits and hints of red wine. Enough rye-barrel character to add tannins and dark malts for bitterness. Complex, rich.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in rye whiskey barrels.”
