Naperville, IL
What Our Editors Thought
“Lightly toasted nose with just a bit of dark-fruit ester, but restrained. Bold and evocative in the sip, but it leads without getting loose. Refined and powerful.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Initial fruity esters (pear, apple) with toasted caramel malt, low toffee. Deep toffee malt aroma almost hints at bread pudding with roasted apples. Medium alcohol warmth and a pleasant carbonic bite. Good mouthfeel helps offset the alcohol level.”
What the Brewers Say
“Layers of caramel, dried fruit, and nuts balanced by a subtle earthy hop presence, full body, and prominent alcohol warmth.”
