Nose: Yeasty raisin bread, milk chocolate, musty oak, classic balcones funk Palate: Stale black coffee, almost a soapy taste, dark fruit, burnt toast Finish: Pretty long, the flavor reminds me of the aftertaste from eating an espresso bean Overall: Very unique. I’ve never had a rye with any of these flavors. Having said that, I think I may have found a balcones I don’t really care for... and I LOVE balcones.
