What Our Editors Thought

“Waffle cone, vanilla, a bit of cocoa powder in the aroma with a nutty undercurrent that unfolds in the flavor with a bit of herbal hop bitterness. Woody tannins help dry the body, with a full but focused finish.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Caramel, toasty chocolate, toffee notes greet the nose, with a hint of whiskey. Flavors of toffee, caramel, molasses, dark dried fruit. Some alcohol bite with a good amount of bitterness tempers the sweetness. Finish is relatively clean.”

What the Brewers Say

“Barleywine aged 18 months in Laws Rye Whiskey barrels.”
