What Our Editors Thought
“Spicy cinnamon roll with melon-like undertone in the nose—strange but compelling. That mellow spicy character persists in the flavor, buoyed by a vanilla-like roundness and supported by a spectrum of caramel flavors. A bit sweet, but some spicy bourbon at the back of the sip keeps it honest.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Enticing cinnamon, allspice, clove, dark chocolate, sweet raisin notes yield a remarkable nose. The flavor also delights with an almost Mexican hot-chocolate character. Smooth alcohol and a long rich finish. Outstanding!”
What the Brewers Say
“Barrel-aged barleywine finished with amburana wood.”
