What Our Editors Thought
“Trim porter nose with a balanced play between burnt-bread malt notes and indulgent coconut, with a touch of rum richness. Light in the sip, with subtle dark-chocolate notes and bold coconut, but a body that’s just enough to support.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma notes of vanilla, coconut, crème brûlée, rum. Rich, sweet maltiness of coconut cookies, caramel, brown sugar with a hefty warming, alcohol presence.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in barrels kissed by the Caribbean, providing notes of chocolate truffles, ripe cherries, vanilla.”
