The Lakes Steel Bonnets

Floral mellow nose, sweet, spicy and peaty taste, licorice

Nothing special, little peaty, Smokey, not very smooth, taste isn’t great

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

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.

Thin flavors headed by vanilla up front, followed by lingering bitter aftertaste

Faint fruity, grape smell. Mostly oily, slightly herbal. Bitter aftertaste.

Smells fruity, but tastes a little vanilla- a little bitter. Oily

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.
