- Excerpt: This is also insanely unique. Unlike the BC pick, this is definitely more funky, hempy, vegetal, way out in left field strange. I like it though, and I think that, while, it can't compete with the Bourbon Crusaders pick, it's still a very good product. Delicious. Unique.

-
Intro:
Another insane product from Charbay, Small batch, huge price, yadda yadda...you know the drill.
-
Nose:
Hops, toffee, stouty, hoppy and almost hempy nose. Huge hybrid of weed and boozy hops. A little fungal. No, a lot fungal.
-
Taste:
Sweet, toffee, caramel, sugary. Funky, hoppy and vegetal. Thick oily mouthfeel, very pleasant for the proof. Syrupy.
-
Finish:
Long and complex. Vegetal, sweet, really funky
-
Overall:
This is also insanely unique. Unlike the BC pick, this is definitely more funky, hempy, vegetal, way out in left field strange. I like it though, and I think that, while, it can't compete with the Bourbon Crusaders pick, it's still a very good product. Delicious. Unique. I'm going to give it a Rank 8
