Winston Salem, NC
What Our Editors Thought
“Sharp bourbon nose with wet leather, high percentage cacao dark chocolate, and softer caramel and vanilla notes underneath. Sweet in the sip as fruit notes push forward—cherry, lime, even peach—while chocolate caramel supports.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Deep, inviting chocolate and coffee roast aroma, with substantial oak and whiskey notes. Soft umami, toast, bread crust. Very rich flavor, but quite sweet. Rich chocolate, light coffee, burnt marshmallow, caramelized honey.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blend of imperial stouts aged in bourbon barrels.”
