What the brewers say

“Aged in a collection of freshly emptied Heaven Hill barrels.”

What our panel thought

“Aroma of sweet malt, whiskey/oak, with a touch of umami. Flavor is sweet, chocolate, assertive whiskey. Oak and whiskey notes accentuate a distinct roast note from start to finish. A crisp bitterness initially overbalances the flavor but comes into balance finally.”

What our editors thought

“Spicy oak nose with strong whiskey overtones, very light citrus zest, midtone caramel notes, and a boozy boast. Woody in the sip, with drying tannins that bring out bitter chocolate notes.”
