The nose has cloves and pastrami on rye, along with brown sugar and rubber tires. There's a sting appropriate for the proof. On the palate, an odd rubbery, plasticky note initially. Then loads of spice and a bit of toasted marshmallow. Leather, baking spice and slight bitterness linger. Good, but pales in comparison to some of the other Booker's batches. 6/6/18
