What Our Editors Thought
“Rich, composed presence—confident without overreaching. Layers of molasses, prunes, and raisin deepen the malt warmth, while a cocoa-like bitterness adds to the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Toasty nose with bits of Turkish coffee, light caramel, sweet chocolate, and citrus zest. Much the same in the mouth, with a bit of cacao-nib bitterness that pulls a perception of sweetness from the off-dry body. Complex and creamy before obvious alcohol kicks in.”
What the Brewers Say
“German-style dark lager with notes of caramel, chocolate, dark fruit.”
