What the brewers say

“Aged in Laws Whiskey barrels. Additions of toasted coconut and Madagascar vanilla.”

What our panel thought

“Strong aromas of caramel, toffee, and toasted coconut, almost cloying. Smooth woody toffee notes leave an aftertaste of bready tropical vanilla and oak.”

What our editors thought

“Bold hop presence in the nose—citrus and pine—with lighter vanilla notes. The flavor furthers the hop agenda, overpowering the softer and sweeter elements and leaving a strong bitter finish.”
