What Our Editors Thought
“Floral vanilla notes in the aroma, with an almost raspberry-like undercurrent, and deeper bourbon-barrel tones. Bready caramel notes in the flavor take on a demure matte sheen as the vanilla notes soften even the sharpest of the dark-malt flavors.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Big, bold vanilla and dark chocolate notes in the aroma, with some barrel in the background. Quite sweet, but smooth and well-rounded, with the vanilla knocking any rough edges off the dark malts.”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged stout rested on vanilla.”
