What Our Editors Thought
“Barrel-forward on the nose, with an initial softness from vanilla that sets the tone. Intermittent flashes of espresso bitterness, pipe tobacco, and leather deepen the lingering finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Slightly Scotch-like in the aroma, with tobacco and leather. Some woody character lingers. Sweetness is restrained enough for balance. Barrel-forward, with some rum-soaked aged, dried fruits.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout aged in rye barrels with vanilla.”
