What Our Editors Thought
“Toasted coconut and vanilla notes in the nose, intense and unyielding. The sip defies the excessively sweet expectations with a balanced nutty, toasty note and a controlled sweetness that underscores the dessert intention.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Big vanilla and coconut notes in the aroma. Cookies-and-cream flavor. Spicy macadamia nut as it warms. Thick mouthfeel. Heat balances sweet flavors well.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in apple-brandy then rye barrels, treated with coconut, Ugandan vanilla.”
