Woodinville Microbarreled Rye (Discontinued)

Nose - Dark chocolaty sweet rye bread, dark vanilla caramel, oaky vanilla, light yeasty aroma like unbaked chocolate cinnamon rolls. Taste - Bit thin, toasted cereal, lightly bitter chocolate nibs, pleasant rye spice bite throughout, dark, almost burnt creme brulee top, nutty sweet like caramelized pecans. Finish - Lingering chocolaty toasted cereal grain notes, like a dark caramel glazed puffed oat/wheat cereal, lightly bitter burnt vanilla caramel/toffee. Score - 90/100

Spicier than most, not hot at all (80 proof), but lovely vanilla and wood

Nice smooth when had neat with a cube of ice

There's a lot of vanilla on the nose, and tangy, spicy/sweet oakiness. On the palate, more vanilla and an almost cola-like character. The finish is a bit short, but does leave the vanilla behind for a while. Overall, very enjoyable.
