What Our Editors Thought
“Unapologetic barrel presence—vanilla, oak, molasses—immediately sets the tone. Layered and expressive, with dark fruit and licorice, while the subtle expression of alcohol rests quietly in the background.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Chocolate and assertive whiskey aroma. Smells like a freshly emptied whiskey barrel. Sweet, caramel flavor is definitely more whiskey-forward with some roasted-malt notes.”
What the Brewers Say
“Chocolate morsels and milk chocolate with notes of espresso martini, candied fig, toasted almonds.”
