What Our Editors Thought
Rich umami with a soy angle and a touch of orange citrus zest on the nose. The flavor is intensely rich and layered, like a smoky jazz club deep in the morning hours—a heady mix of bourbon, char, and deep, confident cool.
What Our Panel Thought
Whiskey up front with pleasant date and raisin notes at the forefront. Layers of vanilla, barrel-spirit charac-ter, dark fruits, anise, and light chocolate wrap into a cohesive package of flavors. Well-balanced, with a touch of heat at the finish.
What the Brewers Say
A blend of four imperial stouts selected from our favorite barrels.
