What the brewers say
N/A
What our panel thought
The aroma begins with cocoa and baking spices, then fades to bourbon and higher alcohols with a touch of umami. Dark fruit, bourbon, dry espresso. Raisins, caramel, and layered chocolate flavors are balanced by hops bitterness and alcohol warmth.
What our editors thought
Mid-sweet chocolate on the nose plays with a hint of cinnamon and tanned leather backed by significant bourbon oak notes. The flavor has a bit of acidic roast malt bite tempered a bit by the residual sweetness, but it’s a bit sharp on the swallow.
