Nose: Upfront herbal quiality (turned down chamomile tea) blended in the rye/corn, barley sweetness, menthol, faint wet hay. Palate: Semi-sweet whipped cream, quick rye spices, undertone of barley, grass and menthol. Quite bitter. Finish: Faint almond/vanilla/sugar, warm rye spices, prominent leather bitterness at the end (quite harsh). Bitterness tammes down seconds later. Holds for a long time (best characteristic from the whole experience). The rest fades really fast. Decent mouth feel. Adding water brings caramel on the tongue, but kills the rest. I have seen a lot of good reviews. Had to try it. Unafortunately, price/quiality ratio is not there. Not recommended. Cheers.
