What Our Editors Thought
“Spicy, fresh-cut pepper aromatics open the nose, followed by a deep but measured heat that builds with time. Nutmeg, raisin, dark fruit, and a hint of cinnamon carry through on a lighter body.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma is a whirlpool of nutmeg and savory stout character. The flavor starts with a punch of nutmeg that leads into a slightly sharp pepper heat accented by the cinnamon. An almond-like depth comes into play as it warms.”
What the Brewers Say
“Creamy stout base with cinnamon, nutmeg, and pasilla chiles.”
