What Our Editors Thought
A confounding beer that tastes nothing like anything else we’ve reviewed. The nose evokes mint chocolate chip ice cream. The flavor is light on spirits barrels, but the bright and soft herbal-meets-dark-chocolate bit-terness is intriguing and singular.
What Our Panel Thought
Blueberry vanilla yogurt aromatics. Strong grape flavor. The Scotch reveals itself at the end and lingers through to the next sip. Very experimental and bold, and some will find that it delivers.
What the Brewers Say
A blend of Ardbeg Scotch barrel–aged Oubliette, birch stave–aged Baltic Porter, Big Black Cow, Chester Cop-perpot, and fresh Oubliette and Earthling.
