JustMyNotes 1.3

Light sweet palette, heavy "hot coal" smoke aftertaste. The foretaste was a bit soapy to me. Not my favorite sipper, but it was great with ginger beer!

Andrew Baumann 2.3

Sweet vanilla and nutty aroma. Tries to add smokey oak notes. But not much to the drink. A smooth and light spiced drink. It's fine, but no thrills.

CaptainMumpitz 3.5

Has a bit of a citrus flavour to me, touched by some oak/charcoal flavour. Definitely not unpleasant, I found this to be absolutely decent

Roderick McDougall 3.5

Apples on the nose. Smooth vanilla sweetness on the palate. And a short a smooth.

jordantcanada 2.0

Very meh. Tastes charcoal-y and… dirty. Not bad but def not good

jmela1 2.5
