Reuben's Brews BBIS: Amburana
What the brewers say
“Bourbon barrel–aged in Brazilian amburana wood.”
What our panel thought
“Spicy nose, hints of cinnamon, light oak, vanilla. Leaves a Mexican-chocolate impression throughout. Flavor includes some capsicum, chocolate, light coffee. Somewhat thin body highlights the spice and unusual wood.”
What our editors thought
“Subtle cinnamon-spice aroma with supporting caramel tones. Dries out in the flavor as the spice and tannins buffer the caramel sweetness.”
