Overall: A peaty bruiser with a pleasant softer side. Color: Light amber Nose: Big brine hit, peat, citrus, hay, cut grass, grilled green peppers, butter, and mint, water sweetens it up a bit Body: Full and oily Taste: Buttery peat, salt, embers, fierce and monolithic initially but with time mint and vanilla emerge, water brings out more spices and some woody notes Finish: Long hot and spicy surge, very delicate vanilla lingers quite a while
