What Our Editors Thought
“Whiskey barrel leads with confident oak, honey, and vanilla. An old-school sensibility is soft and full on the palate, with a persistent alcohol warmth.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Oak, whiskey, Tootsie Roll–chocolate, fudge on the nose. In the flavor, rich roast and chocolate up front, with a flavorful barrel component walking down the entire palate. As it warms, a touch of cedarwood and baker’s spice adds a welcomed depth.”
What the Brewers Say
“Our Road of Bones imperial stout aged in Whiskey Del Bac mesquite whiskey barrels.”
