What Our Editors Thought
“Distinct coffee note on the nose, defined and singular. Sweet and spicy in the sip, as cocoa and caramel sweetness intertwine with a nutty coffee thread. Big and rich, but tightly balanced.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Cold brew roasted coffee overwhelms any other subtle aromatics. The initial sip is a nice blend of intensely bitter roasted coffee and chocolate sweetness with the bitterness of the coffee slowly fading and allowing some caramel, vanilla, and custard-like notes to emerge as things fade into the finish. The alcoholic heat is not hiding but lends a smooth runway for the beer to land upon and remain drinkable even with the ABV.”
What the Brewers Say
“Base imperial stout aged in a Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel and conditioned on Amburana spirals.”
