What Our Editors Thought
“Spicy nose as the cinnamon and coffee together offer an almost Hatch chile–like pepper punch. Nutty cinnamon in the sip with semisweet chocolate and a savory warmth, like a holiday hug.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Rich chocolate and roast malt, spiciness from the barrel, a velvety roundness on the finish. Smoky whiskey aroma, fruity esters, but overpowering cinnamon hides other components. Coconut serves a supporting role.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in rye whiskey and bourbon barrels. Finished on toasted coconut, vanilla beans, cacao nibs, cinnamon, coffee.”
