BKS Artisan Ales Shown the Light
What the brewers say
“Imperial stout aged in rye barrels and conditioned on vanilla beans.”
What our panel thought
“Rye-like spice notes in the nose blend with marshmallow. The barrel is star of the sip with oaky tannin bitterness in the initial sip balanced by a pepper- like note and a boozy, sweet vanilla flavor that carries long into the finish.”
What our editors thought
“Rich vanilla and oak aroma with a bit of wood shavings and cellar must. Beautifully expressed vanilla in the flavor with punchy and energetic dark chocolate notes that contrast against the very, very thick body.”
