What Our Editors Thought
“Caramel on the nose with a bit of wine grape and some oaky tannins. Vinous caramel and chocolate in the sip with slight berry notes.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Hints of citrus hops and oaky vanilla balance caramel, toffee, chocolate, brown sugar in the nose. A char note and a hop bitterness temper the sweetness. A papery oxidative character tones down the sweetness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blend of Madeira-aged barleywine and steel-aged barleywine finished in Madeira barrels.”
