What Our Editors Thought

“Balsamic notes with some cellar must, peach brandy, and chocolate liqueur in the aroma. Sweeter in the flavor, as the balsamic notes amplify the dark fruit with a bit of tangy tannin reining it in.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Caramel, dark-fruit aroma. Sweet caramel and dark fruit continue into the flavor. Sweet in the sip, with a strong ethanol edge that amplifies the sugary malt. Smooth mouthfeel. A tasty drop, in moderation.”

What the Brewers Say

“Blended solera-style and continuously foeder-aged. Rich, complex, and unique.”
