Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 5.5

Taster pour at the source. Appearance is cloudy dark brown with a thin ring of beige head. Aroma is mild smoke, almost like burnt plastic. Taste is rye with a bit of the burnt flavor as the aroma. Palate is medium-to-full with a mix of slick, greasy (though not in a bad way) and slightly frothy texture, and finish as taste. Overall, the aroma and flavor are a bit muted, the appearance is average but the palate is interesting.
