What Our Editors Thought
A rich, varied cocktail nose of sweet cherry and bitter citrus braced by a warm, rich orange bourbon-barrel note leads into a sip that’s sweet and intense, with high-key fruit notes that overwhelm the lower-key stout notes. Fruity, but in a slightly cloying way. Most of the way there; not all the way there.
What Our Panel Thought
Some earth on the nose with layers of chocolate, mint, and bourbon. Complex mouthfeel with notes of cher-ry, orange, bourbon, and chocolate. A bit sweet on the finish.
What the Brewers Say
Aged in High West Manhattan barrels.
