What Our Editors Thought
"Bourbon, cherrywood smoke, barrel char, overripe dark fruit on the nose. The sip veers toward cocoa with a slight bourbon edge—dry and dusty middle, without the supporting bass notes."
What Our Panel Thought
"Roast-and-chocolate nose with boozy, spicy edges; layers of bourbon, fruit-forward coffee. Medium-round body, on the sweeter side; elevated cherry, chocolate, oak. Coffee adds brightness mid-palate and tartness to the finish. Barrel out ahead of the base beer. Rich stout with pleasant rough edges."
What the Brewers Say
"Blended with light-roast, Ethiopian coffee beans and Ghanaian cocoa nibs from TCHO."
