Color: very dark amber. Verrrrry slow both slow forming and moving legs. Nose: I get a lot of spice on the nose. I get the bourbon caramel scent if you make it past the spice. The spice is primary. It’s actually crazy. I get caramel in my left nostril and heavy spice in the right. Taste: a heavy caramel with some heat. It feels like I’m tasting the char from the barrel. It is super heavy but not in a bad way. There is some light rye spice in the end, but you don’t notice it mostly. Finish?: medium long finish with some spice when you focus on it. Water?: good without water!
