The Veil Brewing Company STARVE: Exhibit D Reserve
What the brewers say
“Aged in bourbon and apple-brandy barrels, conditioned on honey, vanilla, marshmallow.”
What our panel thought
“Nuanced nose of earthy honey, vanilla, leather, banana, and a hint of booze. Flavors of milk and dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel, marshmallow, crème brûlée, cinnamon, banana supported by a touch of oak.”
What our editors thought
“Bourbon barrel highlights the nose, with cinnamon, coconut, vanilla notes. Oddly restrained for a beer with such ingredients, but the blender clearly loves bourbon. Marshmallow highlights the sweetness.”
