Kros Strain Brewing Company Graven Maven Grand Cru

What the brewers say

“Aromas and flavors of coconut, graham cracker, a hint of maple, oak, chocolate.”

What our panel thought

“Fudge, brownies, chocolate, cocoa powder. This may sound simple, but all the flavors are well-integrated and well-balanced. Barrel character is subdued and supports the main characters well. Hints of toffee, vanilla, stewed fruits. Flavor is balanced and warming.”

What our editors thought

“Spicy bourbon notes with a lively energy in the aroma. Refined bread crust, caramel, banana bread, and char siu pork notes in the sip for just the right balance.”
