What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Medium-strong coffee and light vanilla up front with some dark chocolate. Roasty and toasty.”

Flavor: “Vanilla and loooots of dark chocolate bring a richness to the flavor and round things out. Lots of roast and toast. Moderately sweet with moderately intense bitterness. Boozy. Light tart fruitiness, perhaps cherry? Sweet chocolate-mocha drink!”

Overall: “Good beer. Intense chocolate, roast, bitterness, and booze. Chocolate and coffee roast with a mild sweetness and a light alcohol lingering. This beer is rich and delivers a sophisticated experience for those who like their cacao 70% and above.”

What the Brewers Say

“Imperial wheat stout emboldened by the addition of Askinosie Honduras cocoa nibs, Coffee Ethic’s Burundi cold-brew coffee, and vanilla beans that we cut open and scraped out. The result is complex, rich, and dry.”
