What Our Editors Thought
“Roast and gentle oak on the nose before fruit carries through the body. Notes of chocolate, raisin, and honey lead into a sweet spiced-apple finish, with acidity keeping the alcohol in check.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Subdued aroma of dark chocolate, fudge, hint of apple. Barrel is subtle. Flavor is estery with a well-matched bitterness and sweetness and a refreshing lightness and acidity from the apple brandy.”
What the Brewers Say
“Brandy and apple aromas, fluffy mouthfeel, lingering finish with notes of brandy, caramelized apples, chocolate, spice.”
