What Our Editors Thought
“Caramel-latte aroma with some spicy Turkish coffee undertones. Nutty coffee notes in the flavor with a strong vanilla and almond sweetness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Silky warm charred oak, dark fruit, and sherry on the nose. Flavor brings dark fruit, soy sauce, spicy cinnamon, a bit of burnt honey. Incredibly drinkable, repeatable. Intensely rich and sweet, brimming with caramel bonbons.”
What the Brewers Say
“Hints of sweet molasses, brown sugar, pinwheel date cookies, light raisin, and caramel-chocolate candies.”
