What Our Editors Thought
The light nose hides woody notes around the edges, with gentle wet forest and slightly burnt bread. The sip is somewhat heavy for such a small beer, leaning a touch too far into the roast/hop-bitterness side, but it’s a flavorful beer in a small package.
What Our Panel Thought
Floral and perfume-like Noble hop notes jump out from behind the roast and chocolate-malt aromas for a balanced complexity in the nose. The roast-malt character dominates a bit more in the flavor, yet the herbal hop bitterness lingers pleasantly into the finish.
What the Brewers Say
Layers of malt flavor: toasted granola, dried dates, caraway, iced coffee. Fermented clean and cool.
