62.15% ABV. Mash bill: 66.6% dent corn, 10% winter wheat, 11.4% winter rye, 12% two-row malted barley. 124.3 Proof. MSRP 79 USD. The high proof is apparent with a strong medicinal rush of alcohol, but it grows into a mix of rich forest smells of moss, old wood, and pine. The flavor isnt especially complex, but its rich. The high proof gives a lot of weight to the flavor, which leans into dark, almost syrupy richness. I can definitely believe that the grains are making an impact, as I feel the most richness in the malty, cereal forward notes.rnrnSometimes I dont need something with a complex mix of fruit and spice notes, sometimes I just want something with a strong punch and rich cereals. If you enjoy something rich, dark, and strong, this would make a worthy addition to your shelf.
