What Our Editors Thought
“Classic ‘dark strong’ aroma with light nutty tones and subtle dark fruit in the distance. Light chocolate and red fruit in the flavor meander a bit before finding a dark-chocolate bitter finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Subtle nose offers some rich malt with some toasty malt and mild alcoholic warmth. Some spice hints after warming a bit. Taste adds some raisin notes along with a light hop balance. Dryish, given the residual body.”
What the Brewers Say
“Notes of raisins, caramel, and spice with a rich and full-balanced finish.”
