What Our Editors Thought
“Semisweet chocolate and cinnamon open the soft, restrained aroma. The initial sip is light and dry, with an unassuming black-pepper spice that is aromatically subtle but unmistakable on the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Ancho chile dominates the aroma while in the flavor, cinnamon and oak join the choir. A smooth but noticeable heat fades slowly. The chiles add nice heat without overwhelming. Would love to see a bit more body and chewiness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Fermented on toasted oak chips, conditioned on cocoa nibs, cinnamon, ancho, and de árbol peppers.”
