What Our Editors Thought
Chocolate, cola spice, and slightly fruity coriander note in the nose. The sip pulls coriander-citrus together with cola for an engaging if awkward duo that's sure to be love/hate.
What Our Panel Thought
Inviting nose—hints of licorice, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee, and sweet cream play with caramel and chocolate malt. In the flavor, roast malt emerges, imparting coffee-like bitterness and nuttiness—chocolate-covered cherry, cocoa dust, coconut, light caramel sweetness. Aftertaste lingers on sweet mocha.
What the Brewers Say
Complex Baltic porter exhibiting chocolate and light coffee notes.
