Idaho Springs, CO
What Our Editors Thought
“Boozy chocolate nose, with a bit of old fashioned–like orange zest and dark cherry. Midtone chocolate in the sip leans bittersweet before unfolding with caramel notes. Slightly thinner body, but powerful bourbon character.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Restrained whiskey-barrel aroma, with some sweet malt base. Light fruit esters. Rich chocolate, roast, whiskey, with a lighter strawberry note toward the finish.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in an Elijah Craig barrel, then finished in a Black Maple Hill barrel.”
