Straight up this one is hot with surprisingly smooth start that quickly turns into a spicy rye burn right through the finish. Has a strong carmel syrup start with hot rye spice finish. Ice calms it down a bit but rye finish still comes through strong. Overall this one is a real kick in the pants. I like these guys and spent a fair amount of time in the tasting learning their story. I would buy it again price was fair in the mid 30 range. Try it you might be suprised.
