House Review
Nose:
Corn, musty cardboard, confectioners sugar, ethanol, peanut butter cup. Weird floral vitamin note.
Taste:
Think to medium mouthfeel, no real heat. Cream, graham cracker, muted. Some clove and corn.
Finish:
Short, hot and fruity. Lots of vanilla and pepper, some mild oak.
Overall:
Muted palate, but a bit hot and a little too all over the place. Not bad, but Barrell has shown us they have picked better.
