Denizens Brewing Company Chapless Horseman
What the brewers say
“Aged in Woodford Reserve barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma initially dominated by herbal and pine hops. Vanilla, oak, whiskey follow with a light cocoa and a dark toasted-grain background. Assertive wood character in the flavor, with an aftertaste of dark sweet chocolate, a hint of coffee and whiskey, raisins, dates. Dry finish with a lingering chocolate sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“Oaky char, roast malt, sweet bourbon notes in the nose. Light grape-candy notes highlight darker roast malt with bourbon-driven sweetness in the sip. Unusual yet fitting.”
