What the brewers say
“With this fiftieth installment to our Barrel-Aged Series, we figured there’s always room for dessert. We are proud to serve you this homage to Dad’s favorite dessert, a riff on our first ever seasonal brew from 1996, magnified in bourbon barrels for a bigger, bolder bite of indulgence.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Roasted malt, quite boozy, some semisweet chocolate, slight vanilla and caramel. Slight sweet licorice. Noticeable raspberry aroma behind the booze.”
Flavor: “Very sweet up front. Chocolate, caramel, and dark-fruit sweetness. The finish is medium sweet, but not cloying. A touch of bourbon corn richness. Some nice vanilla notes from the barrel on the finish.”
Overall: “Quite boozy, but well-
balanced; some may find it too sweet overall. Chocolaty, roasty, and slightly spicy. The barrel adds a nice spice and warmth on the finish. Distinct warmth with some nice complexity of flavors that make for a solid fireside sipper. A few ounces go a long way!”
