Perennial Artisan Ales Devil's Heart of Gold
What the brewers say
“Wheat wine–style ale aged in bourbon barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma of toasted bread crust and black raisin with hints of dark chocolate, apple, vanilla, oak. Bourbon-soaked chocolate-covered raisin flavors slowly fade into vanilla and cinnamon.”
What our editors thought
“Crusty bourbon-soaked sourdough toast nose with light pear and cherry esters. The sip is similarly fruity, with light brown sugar notes and baked apple cut through with an ethanol swath.”
