4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle... This beer rocks!… Pours cloudy and amber with no head. The amazing aromatics are a wet-dream of warm, melted cocoa butter poured gently into a mixing bowl with several fresh, sticky, crushed vanilla beans and a healthy splash of Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20-Year. Just outstanding. Full-bodied and viscuous with laid-back carbonation. The flavor makes me imagine a box of liquor-filled white chocolate bottles enriched with crushed vanilla and bursting with Pappy 20-Year. So rich - so sweet - so warming. The experience is neatly wrapped up in a warming, white chocolate and vanilla finish. Amazing sweetness without being cloying. Amazing whiskey warmth without being boozy. Bravo Bruery and thank you biggsbowler!
