Some peaty smoke. Most flavor is front tongue with more alcohol burn than ABV would imply. Not great, but Nice enough to try a second offering from Lakes.

Vanilla hit, then heat and spice, maybe a little smoke and salt. But it ends up tasting bitter after it sits in my mouth, and not in a good way.

Vanilla. Smell and taste are very different. Lingering aftertaste that turns bitter.
