Asheville, North Carolina
What Our Editors Thought
“Licorice- chocolate nose, judicious oak. Sip isn’t woody, but aging rounds the chocolate-coffee edges, pulling complex malt into a smooth, mildly bitter, chocolate-woody whole.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Oaky nose; vanilla, caramel, coffee, toast. Flavor is pleasant mix of bread crust, chocolate malt, light toffee. Vinous wood carries into the finish, drying. Complex without being a performance piece.”
What the Brewers Say
“Hopped exclusively with Saaz and aged for seven weeks in our American oak foudre.”
