American Solera King Size Candy Bar (2024)
What the brewers say
“Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with toasted coconut.”
What our panel thought
“Boozy vanilla and fudge-like chocolate on the nose with some roast character in the background. Chewy mouthfeel with chocolate, vanilla, and dried fruit.”
What our editors thought
“Overwhelming toasted coconut in the nose, with caramel and cookie tones that push into stroopwafel and Walker’s shortbread, with a dark bourbon chocolate hit. Very sweet on the palate, but the coconut caramel midtones and deep chocolate offer just enough balance.”
