Tasting Notes

Dark chocolate, whiskey and raisin pudding all vie for attention on the nose of this unique barrel-aged creation. The flavor of this beer can only be described as a heaping pile of pistachio and chocolate ice cream paired with a fine neat glass of rye whiskey, with the beer providing chocolate, the barrels imparting rye whiskey notes, the vanilla adding sweetness and the pistachios adding distinct flavors of pistachios.
