  Well this is awful.
  
  Starts out pleasant enough with aromas of melon and apple. But the heat is just obnoxious. ABV is 14.2. I don't know whether it would worse for that amount to be integrated so poorly or if the real number is at the 15.2 leeway max for that labeling. Good body, only about 12% fermented in oak, acidity a little weak...but none of that really matters with such a massive flaw.
