Aroma: “Dark fruit, tobacco, coffee, vanilla, and fresh-cut grass. Moderately strong alcohol, rich malt with caramel and toasty notes, cherry, light pineapple, coconut. Hints of chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, and toffee. Candy in a glass for short.”

Flavor: “Tawny port, pie cherries, leather, and cacao nibs. Incredibly rich malt. Velvety caramel with toasty coffee edges. A very smooth, peppery/ spicy alcohol edge. Coconut and vanilla provide the barrel character, along with a fair amount of bourbon. This is big, but very avorful. Great mouthfeel for the sweet side of the style.”

Overall: “Deceptively smooth—every taste is as rich as the last. This one has tons of candy-like elements, with caramel, toffee, chocolate, vanilla, and coconut all making it a perfect after-dinner beer to sip on to replace your dessert. Exquisite”
