Winston Salem, NC
What Our Editors Thought
“Woody with a bit of forest floor and sweeter chocolate in the nose. Bold sweet chocolate with an orange-and-honey edge defines the sip, holding the sweetness a beat too long.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Rich and intoxicating semisweet chocolate aroma. Viscous mouthfeel. Burnt caramel as it warms, backed up by a robust bitterness from malts and hops. Slight apple component behind the curtain. Complex and decadent.”
What the Brewers Say
“Full-bodied rye stout with dark fruit malts and yeast esters giving way to impressions of winter spices.”
