Taster at the brewery - hazy dark amber - nose of sweetened citrus, smoke, Cherry, sherry, oak - thin-bodied, watery texture, hot alcohol - flavor is heavy on the scotch - peaty and boozy - an underlying citric tartness and hop bitterness tries the balance the somewhat one-dimensional, almost sugary sweetness - finish of sweetened grapefruit and lingering peat, an odd earthy, leathery funk - messy and weird.
