What Our Editors Thought
“Musty barrel and dried dark fruit in the aroma. A marshmallow-like plum sweetness hits first in the flavor, balanced by oak tannins and a medium-bitter chocolate.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Leather and pumpernickel crust in the aroma with a bit of charred barrel, maple, dark fruit, and vanilla. Sweet but dark in the flavor, with bold boozy chocolate notes and vanilla highlights in a bourbon wash. Super sweet. A tasty drop in moderation.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in Hemingway Papa’s Pilar Rum and BLiS Maple Syrup bourbon barrels. Notes of toffee, cola, fig, rum, maple.”
