What the brewers say

"Barrel-aged imperial stout with Mexican vanilla beans."

What our panel thought

"Aroma explodes with sweet vanilla, marshmallow, and milk chocolate; lighter cocoa and coffee notes. Flavor, however, offers ample roast and enough oak tannins to temper that sweet vanilla flood."

What our editors thought

"Enormous marshmallow-vanilla nose, with an earthy touch. On the sip, it mellows, with rich but reserved dark chocolate, tanned leather, coconut, and umami notes. Bold."
