What Our Editors Thought
“Chestnut and rustic toast aroma with Maillard and caramel undertones. Burnt crust swirls with darker fruit tones in the sip, but the fullness lays bare its domestic origin.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The first whiff brings caramel with a peppery undertone. A deeper sniff pulls some estery yeast character. Rich, layered malt complexity. Beautiful fermentation notes. The flavor hits all of that. If only it finished a bit dryer.”
What the Brewers Say
“Complex, strong, yet smooth and easy-drinking. Blend of flavors from malt richness, dark fruits, subtle spice.”
