Color is medium amber, aroma has some caramel, some spice, maybe a hint of nuts, not peanut but a softer and fainter aroma. Taste is a balance between spice and some sweetness, there is a hint of dryness. The spice is not overpowering like it can be in other eyes. The finish tending to fade away pretty quickly. A very surprising pour for me because I do not consider myself a rye person.
