Elysian Brewing Punkuccino

What the brewers say

“A short shot of coffee toddy with just a shake of cinnamon and nutmeg.”

What our panel thought

“Aroma blends coffee, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg. Strong blonde coffee flavor with hints of candied walnuts and Fig Newtons. Light fruity alcohol note.”

What our editors thought

“Cinnamon, nutmeg, a bit of almond, and very faint coffee roast on the nose. Thankfully, far less sweet in the flavor than the nose suggests, with initial dark-coffee roast bitterness that hangs on deep into the sip before the drying spice and dark chocolate emerge.”
