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.”
