I think I got the last glass put of the cask and holy smokes is this a murky cloudy crazy looking drink. Appears like chocolate milk but drinks like a little boozy slightly sweet beer with that requisite rye bite on the back end. Little but of vanilla in the aroma. That comes through to the flavor as well. Good amount of alcohol touch to keep this entertaining but not over powering. Could be a little more complex though. Primarily a boozy rye flavor profile.
