What Our Editors Thought
“Dark-chocolate candy bar in the nose, slightly nutty, with vague fruity vanilla. Sharp dark malt bitterness in the sip is immediately buffered by a round minerality. The semidry body suggests more sweetness than is there before it quickly finds its tidy finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Semisweet chocolate with licorice notes on the nose. In the flavor, layers of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, plum, light cherry. Round, sweet finish with a dash of roast.”
What the Brewers Say
“Fuller bodied with notes of cacao, dark-chocolate Oreos, and toasted almonds.”
