Brand – Roulaison
Selection – N/A
ABV – 57.5%

Nose – Rubbing alcohol, plastic, a little bit of molasses, coffee, some grass, dark chocolate
Taste – Chocolate, cream, simple syrup, molasses
Finish – There’s like a funky body order or stinky cheese aspect that comes in. There’s some chocolate and molasses in the background but it’s taken over by this gross funk that dominates
Score: 2
Would I buy a bottle? No
Thoughts: It really was fine to smell and then taste, but once I swallowed, I knew something was just so off. It’s kind of hard to pin down the actual flavor, but it is so punchy and distinct that it’s hard to pull anything else from the rest of the experience.
