Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptist Black Gold 2024

What the brewers say

“Flavors only attainable through true craftsmanship and patience.”

What our panel thought

“Smells like a freshly poured Italian espresso. An unexpected banana ester on the nose nicely complements caramel and brown sugar. Taste is also coffee-centric, like a Cuban coffee, laced with caramelized sugar. Minimal barrel and aged character.”

What our editors thought

“Deep aged barrel tones in the aroma with tanned leather, chocolate muffin, and a bit of anise. Nutty coffee in the flavor with a strong boozy finish.”
