What the brewers say

“Aged two years in cognac barrels.”

What our panel thought

“Grape-like, green-apple aromas, followed by whiskey-soaked raisins as it warms. Grape-like flavor, raisins, vanilla, toffee, followed by apples, roasted coffee, milk chocolate, caramel. Boozy warmth.”

What our editors thought

“Strong woody note with a slight vegetal and fruity tinge in the aroma. Sweet in the sip, with spritely cherry and grape notes, while aged-sherry and caramel-apple notes hold up the midtones.”
