What Our Editors Thought
“Vanilla and a fruity chai-spice nose. The sip drops into hippie headshop territory, with a hefty incense vibe.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Notes of cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate in the nose blend with a nutty almond- and pistachio-like element to create an interesting, if clumsy, aroma. That same cherry-like nutty element emerges in the flavor to create a counterpoint to the chocolate and roast-malt sweetness, almost heavy-handed.”
What the Brewers Say
“An imperial rye stout matured on tonka beans and Ugandan vanilla beans.”
