What the brewers say

“Substantial malt backbone with notes of toffee and toasted raisin-wheat bread.”

What our panel thought

“Candy-like sweetness on the nose, some burnt sugar, toasted sourdough, rye—effervescent and pleasant. Big, roasty flavors throughout, with hints of ribbon candy. Rounded, complex malt body. Finishes with lingering, dough-like sweetness without being heavy or plodding. Clean and bright.”

What our editors thought

“Deep malt notes, dark toast into light chocolate, with a significant herbal and floral hop aroma. Bold, with a malt sweetness buffered by hops—finishes with a light, pleasing herbal bitterness.”
