What Our Editors Thought
“Restrained Tootsie Roll in the nose with a grassy chocolate edge. The flavor leans nutty, semidry with punchy cocoa powder and a touch of vanilla.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Big roasty traditional stout with some adjuncts for interest. Touch of gingerbread in the nose, baked marshmallow, light fruit-punch-type ester. Muddled roast character. Bitterness lingers on the tongue for a nice change from overly sweet pastry stouts.”
What the Brewers Say
“Reminiscent of an Almond Joy, this lusciously thick-bodied stout has a candy bar–like sweetness.”
