tjjirak 3.5

Rich gold color, perhaps a little red tint. Nice fingers on the glass but it doesn’t have a thick or oily mouth feel. Nose reminds me of lemon and olive. Initially sharp with a little burn on the tongue, but it dies quickly to the center of the tongue, a little sour. The finish is not rich, but there is finally a little peaty sea breeze and a little dusky oak. Others comment on sweetness, but I don’t get that, except a little in the finish. Not a bad pour, distinctive and unusual profile. But it does not present the complexity or depth I recall from other Jurassic I recall.

DRAMS OF RYGUY 4.0

I sampled an ounce at a local bar and thought that it outplayed the Prophecy - in the opinion of my taste buds, of course. I'd consider purchasing a bottle so that I could sit down and spend some more time investigating its flavour profile. I found it to be surprisingly layered (especially after reading reviews)... Light peat smoke and sweetness came off as a candied bacon, and I would receive some subtle toffee / espresso notes as it developed and on the finish. [2016-12-13] [$10 at The Marquis]

PBMichiganWolverine 2.0

Not too bad, but really nothing too interesting either. Just not really worth its cost. Can get much better for much less. In a way---just too many conflicting flavors happening at the same time, with really no one single stand out flavor

like tar and burnt leather..in a bad way. I've not been to Brooklyn but this is what I imagine an alley there would taste like.

tptmed 3.8

Not the old, oily Jura I remember, but a nice, slightly sweet yet peaty dram. Pleasant and an easy drinker

lphegwood 2.0

Slightly peated but overall the experience feels peated - broad spectrum of peat, salt and smoke.
