What Our Editors Thought
“Toasted coconut and roasted coffee in the nose with a touch of licorice. Medium body stays livelier than many, and the nutty bourbon-chocolate tones grip quickly with a simultaneous deeper bitterness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Subtle aroma of bourbon, chocolate fudge, vanilla, and some roasted-malt backbone. Flavor is nicely boozy. Base beer is sweet and lightly roasted. Barrel character comes through as oak and vanilla in the flavor. The elements are all in balance: It’s sweet enough to support the high alcohol level without being cloying.”
What the Brewers Say
“Imperial stout aged in a single William Larue Weller barrel.”
