Fort Collins, CO
What Our Editors Thought
“Lighter woody and nutty note in the aroma with just a hint of dark fruit. Vinous in the flavor, lighter body with a shortbread-cookie sweetness and swirling chocolate tones.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Decadent aroma of brownies, ruby port, figs, and brandy. Luscious taste profile with layers of burnt sugar, maraschino cherries, vanilla, dried dates, and a touch of cinnamon. Alcohol is big and bold, but not hot or harsh. Full-bodied and sweet, but not quite cloying.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in a whiskey-finished port barrel.”
