Geruch nach Getreide, leicht Vanille, und Hefe? Geschmack direkt Alkohol und Sprit wie ein Obstler. fruchtig säuerlich bitter. alkoholisch süß im Abgang
Laffy Taffy banana and cut grass on the nose. Vanilla flows into wood spice on the taste. Finish is a lingering heat from the barrel.
Yeah, not so much. Strange woody flavors to start. Thin watery finish.
