Tasting Notes

"Using whiskey barrels to age beer is an intriguing idea, and the beers selected for this one (coffee stout and kriek) are unusual. Hints of coffee come out on the nose, then fade to the background until a taste of dark espresso emerges again on the finish. In between come notes of oak, vanilla, smoke, and dark stone fruit that may be due to the kriek. It's a unique and flavorful dram, with the stout influence standing out as its most interesting feature."
