Idaho Springs, CO
What Our Editors Thought
“Nuts, chocolate, a light touch of toasty char in the aroma. Flavor remains light and chocolate-forward, with a bitter-chocolate note that plays against the ethanol sweetness. Lean without feeling spartan.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Roasted malt aroma with rich notes of tobacco, leather, herbal liqueur. Velvety malt profile of burnt bread, honey, coconut, spice, vanilla. Colheita madeira, cedar shavings, sage come to mind.”
What the Brewers Say
“Blend of imperial stouts aged in a Pappy 23 barrel. Walnut, dark cocoa, anise, leather.”
