Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown color close to black in color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which tapered off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: some floral and spicy rye notes, dark chocolate, barrel woody spice, good level of ash to burnt notes then some milk chocolate
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sweet ashy to spicy rye and chocoaltey vibe; finishes pretty ashy and barrel spicy
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; not really smooth as the rye really hits hard and the ashy-ness really dries the whole thing out
Overall: I liked the rye aromas and flavors but honestly, I think they need to scale back how the rye is conveyed in the feel.
