Sweet caramel, confectioners sugar, faint oak but not much. Very sweet, very syrupy sugary sweet nose.
Thick mouthfeel, some heat, lots of confectioners sugar. Faint cherry character - lots of other fruitiness also, namely the passion fruit I generally get in Mashbill 1 products. Heat grows with time as some faintly oaky and peppery notes rise
Medium, growing slightly bitter. Some astringency. Delightful fruitiness with lots of toffee and caramel.
This is a good bottling but the fire and rage of Stagg Jr is still real. Its hot but complex and thankfully the heat fades with airtime. Very nice and it delivers a great profile for a generally available, generally affordable barrel proofer from the Buffalo.
