What Our Editors Thought
“Faint herbal hops lay atop chocolate, orange, a bit of burnt bread crust in the aroma. In the flavor, tight caramel and chocolate notes with an oven-tempered quality hit fast and fade. Whiskey note is even-keeled with softer tannins.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Aroma of rich malt, fragrant grapefruit and pine hops, caramel, toffee, a hint of vanilla. Warm rye bread, cinnamon-like spice, lightly spicy rye whiskey flavor. As the beer warms, banana and red apple. Light body balances well with the rye spice.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in bourbon and rye barrels.”
