Waterloo Cuvée Impériale (2023)
What the brewers say
“Limited edition. Aged in whiskey barrels.”
What our panel thought
“Toffee, dried fruit, caramel, bready, and vanilla-like oak notes in the nose. A caramel, toffee, toasted, and roasty malt body blends with fruity esters and hints of oaky vanilla. Whiskey character adds some heat and underlying sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“Deep aroma with roasted nut and burnt bread-crust notes, highlighted by a light red grape. Caramel-driven in the sip, with a strong malt sweetness amplified by fruitier fermentation notes.”
