What Our Editors Thought
“Soft toasty malt nose is curiously straightforward, complex but not pedantic. The sip is punchy, even, with clearly defined caramel and light hop bitterness playing against the sweet malt. Richly energetic.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Restrained nose suggests figs, cherries, and bread crust. Expressive on the palate as woody oak notes come through. Reminiscent of golden syrup and an aromatic distillation of Munich malt.”
What the Brewers Say
“Munichwine aged in both bourbon and California grape brandy barrels.”
