Comments
Wouldn't buy again.
Appearance: Clear mahogony color with a very thin tan head which quickly dissipates.
Aroma: Rubber with oak, this isn’t very appealing at all to smell.
Flavor: Vanilla and oak are huge with a rubbery aftertaste. Alcohol is tasted in this as well, but it’s not as strong as the ABV would have you believe.
Mouthfeel: Thick and syrupy with almost no sign of carbonation.
Overall Impression: I don’t know what’s going on here, clean glass and all, but this is just average at best. I’m not enjoying this very much and won’t buy it again.
