Nose is a very pleasant eye … bread notes with a touch of citrus. Not overwhelmingly but certainly not timid either. No trace of ethanol. On the taste, it’s a very muted taste and bit flat on this go around. First sip was not particularly great, but improved on the second and about the same on the third as the second. OVERALL I would say it’s a lot flatter than I would have expected as well as thinner too. I do get some nice warming in the chest which is always a plus. Hopefully, it will open up over time but for the MSRP this is a huge disappointment.
