What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Cocoa butter, vanilla, macadamia nuts, and sugar cookie. Plenty of sweet booze with more coconut, oak, and filberts coming on at the end. A candy beer for sure.”
Flavor: “Super-sweet pastry beer, indeed. Nice malt sweetness, all caramel and toasted toffee. Cocoa is there, and the nuts. Some woodiness. Noticeable bourbon heat. Borderline too sweet/cloying.”
Overall: “Sweet and nutty with some nice vanilla and caramel bourbon-
derived notes. On the verge of too sweet and a bit boozy. Definitely a beer to share because a little bit goes a long way.”
What the Brewers Say
“Brewed with macadamia-nut flour and cocoa butter. After aging in bourbon barrels, it was filtered through more than 100 pounds of macadamia nuts for their creamy, sweetly rich character. Brown-sugar base notes from caramelized malt melt into the soft flavors of oak and Madagascar vanilla beans for a perfect sip of fresh-baked nostalgia.”
