Firestone Walker Los Leñadores
What the brewers say
“Collaboration with Cigar City. Imperial brown ale aged in high-rye bourbon barrels.”
What our panel thought
“The initial approach is toasted bread with cinnamon. More cinnamon and barrel in the flavor, with toffee and caramel-like notes. Sweet initially, but the heat from the cinnamon and the booze help dry it out.”
What our editors thought
“Holiday spice-cake notes of ginger, nutmeg, and orange zest on the nose. The sip is curiously deep—layers of flavors that range through woody, slightly tannic, spicy, warming, cinnamon, and more. Fascinating and engaging. ”
