What Our Editors Thought
“Dark roast and bourbon aromas lead seamlessly into oak, vanilla, and barrel char. Smooth but firm bitterness cuts through the body, emphasizing cacao nibs and barrel character over malt sweetness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Hershey’s chocolate syrup, chocolate cake, and Oreo cookies on the nose. Lots of sweet chocolate, slight roast, vanilla, marshmallow, and s’mores. Big bourbon flavors push against the onslaught of sweet. Sharp, bitter finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Stout aged on average 18 months, with vanilla beans and cacao nibs added.”
