What Our Editors Thought
“Tannic oak-driven aroma with bits of coconut and chocolate. Rich caramel midtones in the flavor are amplified by the full body and lower carbonation, with tight and clean execution.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Rye-flecked, cream-filled Ding Dong on the nose with coconut and vanilla. Milk chocolate mixed with the barrel creates a rich German chocolate cake aroma. Boozy but infused with a depth of complex sweetness. Decadent but not cloying.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial brown ale aged in a Heaven Hill rye barrel.”
