Alternate Ending Beer Co. Carolyn's Wings
What the brewers say
“Rye barrel–aged imperial stout conditioned with cinnamon and coffee.”
What our panel thought
“Rye bourbon notes lead in the aroma, followed by coffee roast, light caramel, chocolate, and notes of fig, dark cherry, and raisin. The flavor is where this beer shines: cooked sugar, ribbon candy, and spice from the rye that adds to the richness.”
What our editors thought
“Barrel and spice with a slight green-wood edge in the aroma. Deeper in the flavor with strong cinnamon and a deceptively light texture that almost effervesces off the palate.”
