What Our Editors Thought
“Oak rounds out the burnt caramel nose with orange wood and mulled barleywine notes in the aroma. Vivid and direct in the sip, the defined caramel notes with polished bourbon overtones drive through the lighter, sippable body, suggesting that one might finish a glass, and pour another.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Inviting aromatic dark chocolate, vanilla, light oak, bourbon. Rich bourbon flavors draw you further into this beer’s orbit. Finishes with medium sweetness and well-hidden alcohol that leaves no trace.”
What the Brewers Say
“Notes of caramel, stone fruit, brown sugar, vanilla.”
