22oz bottle from Lighthouse Liquor pours a murky black, spitty beige head.  Nose was huge with whiskey out the gate but opened to malt and spice and cocoa.  Barrel is more round than the nose let's on.  Full bodied and round.  Woody.  8 4 8 5 15

Aroma of blackberries with lactic elements. Taste has lightly sour notes with some fruitiness. Palate has distinct tea notes, very muted lactic element that pairs well. Quite good.
