Had on tap. Confession: I loved the original here be monsters with vanilla, an amazing ba vanilla bomb. This is better. The rye adds the sharp bitterness and slight smoke to meld with the huge vanilla and whiskey. Resulting flavors include marshmallow, coffee, soil, wood, and fudge. Smell is much the same, though barrel is more pronounced slightly. Feel has great contrasting booze warm and vanilla coolness, all interacting with the lazily jagged rye. Pitch black viscous body, no head
