LCI, usual nice barrel forwardness same as every private press I've had so far. Coconut and marshmallow and and somewhat the vanilla in the finish, backseat bumps.

Lci. Hella barrel upfront, similar to the other PP, but booze mellows out to meet a light roast profile and easy finish, light vanilla
