What Our Editors Thought
“Deep chocolate nose with an earthy base and endearing woody tones. A bit light in body, dry, with woody/husky grain character that feels more casual than deeply intentional.”
What Our Panel Thought
“In the nose, dark chocolate, vanilla, and fudge followed by a savory touch of soy sauce. An amaro-like flavor comes across spicy and leathery. Firm bourbon presence is obvious in the aroma and flavor. Straightforward, almost simple, flavor profile.”
What the Brewers Say
“BBA imperial stout, non-adjuncted.”
