Bib & Tucker Gold Roast Bourbon Evaluation
The espresso affect doesn’t function a lot initially on the nostril. At first, issues are extra wooden pushed with loads of dry oak and barrel char. A thick unfold of peanut butter, the oily all-natural sort, can be outstanding. It doesn’t take over, nonetheless, like the usual 6 yr outdated expression, buying and selling a few of these peanut shell and buttery undertones for a heat cup of joe. In time, these darkish roasted notes soften and sweeten a little bit to café au lait and low ice cream.
The espresso dimension is a little more heavy-handed on the palate. It’s light-bodied, maybe a bit too light-bodied for all these daring and barely bitter espresso bean high notes. What begins as caramel-kissed macchiato transitions to extra darkish espresso on the midpalate with a lacing of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch. The end is a bit skinny however not as coffee-laden because the entrance of the sip, permitting a little bit extra brown sugar and delicate baking spice to enrich the chilly brew conclusion. A well-balanced and fascinating twist on the traditional Bib & Tucker profile good for an after-dinner tipple or, higher but, a chilly climate cocktail.
