What Our Editors Thought
“Stunning nose with deep malt notes, slightly fruity fermentation esters with banana and berry skin, and a faint woody undertone. Soft but malty in the sip with very restrained barrel notes and a fluffy mouthfeel.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Lightly roasted aromas. Balance between coffee, fig, dates, and a yeast-driven ester. Oak complements the malt and yeast. Moderately strong sweetness leans toward bitter on the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aromas of bourbon, dried plums, baking spices, with notes of pecans, caramel, fig jam, oak tannin.”
