What Our Editors Thought
Toasty caramel malt shoots across the nose like ‘80s background lasers, retro-futuristic nostalgic. The sip channels campfire vibes, with hefty chocolate and marshmallow over a faint smoky base. A toasty bitterness that cleans the palate.
What Our Panel Thought
Dominant roast, coffee, hints of nuts, peppermint. Flavor doubles down on roast, with caramel sweetness, coffee, and nutty flavors complementing the bittersweet base. Think dark-roast iced coffee, with a touch of caramel macchiato. Finish slowly dries and a touch of warmth tops it off.
What the Brewers Say
Rich, dark, and roasty; lagered for six weeks before release.
