What the brewers say
“Brewed with three kinds of rye, aged in a blend of bourbon barrels. Rich, spicy, and decadent with notes of cherry, chocolate, and caramel.”
What our panel thought
“Barrel character is forward in the aroma—vanilla oak braces a caramel-raisin-date trifecta. In the mouth, these characters melt into thick caramel, toffee, coconut, toast, dark fruit, and chocolate with a delicious full-bodied sweetness balanced with just the right hops bitterness. A dark spiciness marks the alcoholic warmth, which is aggressive, but never harsh. Between the drying alcohol and the firm touch of hops bitterness, the sweet malt stays within bounds. The aftertaste suggests rum-soaked fruitcake. Yum! One to be sipped and thoroughly enjoyed in front of the fireplace on a snowy night.”
What our editors thought
“Sharply defined spicy nose offers caramel and fennel in equal amounts. The flavor is initially sweet before segueing into a vanilla coconut barrel-meets-boozy-alcohol-warmth-with-a-side-of-creme-brûlée deliciousness. Deeply engaging and endlessly captivating.”
