12-04 Chicken Cock Small Batch

Chicken Cock

👁: Deep amber color with thick, slow-moving legs.
👃: Sweet butterscotch and a little bright lemon zest. You've also got that classic barrel hit of oak and some spice—white pepper and old tanned leather.
👅: A nice mix of spice, mainly white pepper and ginger, alongside sweet dried apricot and honey. It has a creamy, light mouthfeel, but this is where it falls a little flat for me.
🏁: Short and sweet, mostly just that white pepper and honey fading out.
