What the brewers say
“Rich black barley and roasted malt with distinct notes of chocolate and espresso.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma of charcoal dust, dark toast, light coffee roast, with hop-forward pine and orange-blossom notes. High carbonation. Lots of deep, dark roasted malt in flavor, with pine, black pepper, bread crust, coffee. Hoppy, with clean bitterness that clears the palate. Rich and satisfying without being overly full or sweet, hop-forward yet maintains its stout character. Very well balanced, nice drinkability.”
What our editors thought
“Forest and citrus with light cocoa powder in the nose. Light, almost bready body with a cool-toned hop streak that drops into roast and a finish driven by hop bitterness.”
