Appearance: Pours a cloudy copper color with a two finger head; decent retention and squiggles of lacing
Smell: The Rye barrel is prominent in this mocktail concoction; stone fruit, farmhouse funk and hints of vanilla, as well
Taste: Caramel and vanilla sweetness underpins the funk, fruit and barrel components, with tart/sweet/funky stone fruit flavors emerging, bringing peach and plum; through the middle, the Rye barrel adds spicy and oaky whiskey tones; the finish is tart and spicy
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; some warmth in the gullet
Overall: A lot going here but the Rye and farmhouse elements merge nicely
