What Our Editors Thought
Mild anise note on the nose contrasts with dark caramel. The sip softens but widens that darker note, offsetting sweeter caramel and offering thoughtful depths. Slightly goth, slightly dark, but with a warm soul.
What Our Panel Thought
Nose of rich toast, caramel, and touch earth and red berry. The flavor gets more distinctly malty, with rich caramel, toasted bread, light smoke; spicy bitterness is nicely balance. Finish is crisp but with just enough sweetness.
What the Brewers Say
Toasty brown ale with a round, full mouthfeel and a pleasant aroma. Light roasted notes, leather, biscuit.
