What Our Editors Thought
“Burnt bread-crust nose with faint coffee and floral notes. Tight toasted rye bread sip with light roast hints and a touch of sweetness as it lingers.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Deep brown, nearly opaque with garnet highlights. Low-intensity aroma with toasted notes and a hint of dark-fruit esters. Flavor is similar, with more intense cherry esters and stronger toasted malt. Fairly rich despite the thinner body.”
What the Brewers Say
“Creamy, ruby-hued headlands give way to malt-rich flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts.”
