DESTIHL Brewery Dosvidanya Rye Barrel

What the brewers say

“Robust roasty maltiness. Finishes dry, with spiciness from the barrel and added rye.”

What our panel thought

“Up front: fig, dried raspberry, black currant, hint of cedar shavings/rye. Soft chocolate, bread-crust malt. Medium-sweet, backed with some solid malt flavor and a fair bit of bitterness. Crispy-edge chocolate brownies. Hint of spicy rye in the finish. Lingering boozy heat.”

What our editors thought

“Cut grass with a fresh fruity edge and spiky caramel-chocolate in the aroma. Round and full sip with broad cocoa-powder notes and a nutty undertone.”

DESTIHL Brewery Dosvidanya Mexican Chocolate

“Bright cinnamon, dark chocolate, peppery spice, vanilla create an inviting aroma. Sip is bitter dark chocolate and spicy cinnamon, complemented by just enough chile-like heat. Complementary vanilla notes emerge mid-palate, linger into the finish.”

DeStihl Brewery Dosvidanya

**Aroma:** “Thick chewy vanilla, moderate rich dark chocolate, touch of roast, moderate vanilla, woodsy earthiness. Strong coffee provides a nice backbone. Coconut and dried fruit add some nice complexity. Smells sweet and inviting with some mild alcohol.” **Flavor:** “Tastes like a fresh brownie hot out of the oven with the same thick chewy vanilla and chocolate present in the aroma. It is creamy, with just enough carb to make everything pop. Strong coffee notes, moderate sharp roast, caramel sweetness, and oak tannins. Coconut and spicy alcohol round it out.” **Overall:** “Good full-bodied imperial stout with a touch of warming, light barrel complexities, and a bit of oak tannins. Loved it. It hits all the right notes without being overpowering or heavy-handed. A very balanced beer.”
