What Our Editors Thought

“Unusual and captivating aroma with strong cola notes, low-key smoked malt, and bright woody-floral hits. Drops down an octave in the flavor, with smooth chocolate malt notes supporting the cola spicing.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Huge lime kick in the nose, with herbal spice, licorice, cedar, chocolate. Flavor has a bold, sweet stroke of sarsaparilla, spice, and rich chocolate. Weird and awesome, with a difficult-to-­describe combination of booze, lime, spice, wood, and rich stout.”

What the Brewers Say

“Bourbon barrel–aged imperial stout rested on herbs and spices like a classic cola.”
