all the flavors were perfectly melded.

Reminiscent of coffee-flavored ice-cream which I understand is one of those things people either love or hate, but I happen to love it. Barrel-aging adds another layer. Good stuff.

excellent beer, with great balance from the coffee and lactose. concise bitterness from the coffee, shortened by the lactose and playing a chord with the Cocoa. The rye is there in the background the whole time, smooth with a bit of spice. Really well crafted.
