What Our Editors Thought
"Coffee-chocolate nose and a whiff of decomposing leaves. The sip is brighter—a slightly sweet highlight fades into cocoa powder and drip coffee. Rides the line between pedestrian and accessible."
What Our Panel Thought
"Milk-and-cookies vibe—dark chocolate, vanilla, cherry—and a hint of banana give a banana-split impression. Barrel-forward without being over the top. Flavor is sweet up front—bittersweet chocolate—fading into moderate, acrid roast bitterness and alcohol warmth. Nice and warming overall."
What the Brewers Say
"Roasty and deep ... providing swirling intense flavors of coffee, chocolate, bourbon, and vanilla."
