What Our Editors Thought
“Pronounced aromas of oak, honey, and char. Heavy barrel character brings spicy rye, black pepper, and baker’s chocolate before notes of fig and honey emerge as the beer warms.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The barrel is pronounced in the nose but balanced in the flavor, where even-keeled bourbon compliments the smooth, malty, clean, roasty base beer. Gentle dark-fruit, light coffee, and rose alcohol notes all play together well. Boozy oak astringency gives way to roast malt with hints of licorice and a semisweet chocolate finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Bourbon barrel–aged with notes of coconut, espresso, and pumpernickel.”
