What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Toasty malt with rich caramel and a bit of raisin and graham cracker. A bit of stewed fruits in the background. And smoked malts reminiscent of smoked ham.”
Flavor: “Dark caramel blends nicely with the toasted malt. Once you get past the richness of the caramel, there’s a cooked apple character that is really nice. Some bitterness balances the sweetness, and slides into a creamy finish.”
Overall: “I really like the apple-like finish on this one. It works so well with the caramel and toast qualities from the malt. Just makes me think of fall.”
What the Brewers Say
“Rich, complex, malty monster of a beer. Deep ruby, mahogany tones with a light tan head. Earthy, dark fruit with hints of tobacco on the nose. Layers of plum, toffee, fig and molasses with a balanced alcohol profile.”
