What Our Editors Thought
“Chocolate-dipped waffle-cone aroma with sharper backing dark chocolate. Strong vanilla notes in the flavor amplify the appearance of sweetness with nutty and toasted coconut midtones, but it resolves quickly with a light bitter-chocolate finish. Indulgent yet concise.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Thick and sweet. Fudge, dark chocolate, Malt-o-Meal on the nose with hints of raisin, fig jam, dates, and soy sauce. Intense, complex flavor is syrupy chocolate goodness.”
What the Brewers Say
“A rich base stout balanced by oak tannin, notes of cocoa, toffee, vanilla.”
