Wild Leap Brewing Company Lone Buffalo
What the brewers say
“Bourbon and chocolate under the nose, then chased with vanilla and caramel throughout with legs.”
What our panel thought
“Blueberry Danish, cocoa nibs, coconut, caramel on the nose. Syrupy flavor profile of dark chocolate, vanilla cones, bourbon, poppyseed muffins. Alcohol and cinnamon spice provide balancing heat. Toffee, dark fruit move between the foreground and background. The alcohol is omnipresent.”
What our editors thought
“Dark notes in the nose—licorice, roasted malt. The sip softens with a rounded sweetness that downplays the character of the nose.”
