I suggest putting a drip of water into this to open up the flavor palette. Without the water I get all the flavor on the nose and not much once it moves to the back - and very little aftertaste. After the water to open it up - it smells slightly fruity and malty. A very even taste front to back- fairly smooth, hints of vanilla and a fruity scent. Dark caramel in color. Overall, I enjoyed it and would drink it again. I am also originally from Wyoming and love the uniqueness of this small batch to commemorate the eclipse.
