Alma Mader Brewing Art of Confusion (2024)

What the brewers say

“Conditioned on macadamia nuts, cacao nibs, and vanilla.”

What our panel thought

“Rich, complex aroma screams cocoa, macadamia nut, and vanilla. Cocoa, vanilla, and coconut blend smoothly with dark-roast coffee notes.”

What our editors thought

“Woody bourbon aroma with vanilla and an inviting higher-key nutty note for an almost nougat-like aromatic softness. Medium body is more flavor-forward than textured, with nutty midtones and a cacao nib smoothness that pulls the notes together.”
