Nose: Mild funkiness mixed with whiffs of a mechanics dirty overalls. Green grass. Hints of citrus. I can dig this.
Taste: Fiery and full bodied. Lots of pepper here; black, white, Szechuan, chili. Ginger and cinnamon. Amazingly complex.
Finish: Long-ish finish. Peppery all the way. Ginger and cinnamon again. Some fruitiness (orchard fruits) and a mild hint of funk and vegetables in the end.
Comment: I love Funky Town!
