What Our Editors Thought
“Strong dark-chocolate and whiskey notes in the aroma with an herbal anise kick. Wider in the sip, with a dusty cocoa-powder chocolate texture and staccato bass notes that startle more than soothe.”
What Our Panel Thought
“On the nose, chocolate, light roast malt, moderate toffee, dates, vanilla, dark fruit, raisin, caramel, toffee, heavy booze. Vanilla and raisin dominate the flavor. A little young.”
What the Brewers Say
“English-style barleywine aged in a single Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel.”
