Three Taverns Brewery Martyr's Breath
What the brewers say
“An imperial rye stout matured on tonka beans and Ugandan vanilla beans.”
What our panel thought
“Notes of cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate in the nose blend with a nutty almond- and pistachio-like element to create an interesting, if clumsy, aroma. That same cherry-like nutty element emerges in the flavor to create a counterpoint to the chocolate and roast-malt sweetness, almost heavy-handed.”
What our editors thought
“Vanilla and a fruity chai-spice nose. The sip drops into hippie headshop territory, with a hefty incense vibe.”
