Jura Brooklyn

Deep gold with a hint of red. It leaves legs on the glass but lacks a thick or oily feel in the mouth. The aroma is reminiscent of lemon and olives. It starts out sharp with a brief burn on the tongue, then quickly fades to the middle of the tongue with a touch of sourness. The finish isn't robust, but it eventually reveals a subtle peaty sea breeze and some muted oak. While others detect sweetness, I only perceive a little in the aftertaste. It's an acceptable pour with a unique and unusual character, but it doesn't offer the complexity or depth I recall from other Jurassic expressions.

I tried an ounce at a local establishment and felt it surpassed the Prophecy, according to my palate. I would consider purchasing a bottle to dedicate more time to exploring its flavor profile. I discovered it to be surprisingly complex, especially after reading other opinions. A light peaty smoke and sweetness presented as candied bacon, with subtle toffee and espresso notes emerging as it developed and during the finish. [2016-12-13] [$10 at The Marquis]

Not too bad, but really nothing too interesting either. Just not really worth its cost. Can get much better for much less. In a way, there are just too many conflicting flavors happening at the same time, with really no single standout flavor.

It tastes like tar and burnt leather, and not in a good way. While I haven't visited Brooklyn, this is how I imagine an alley there would smell and taste.

This isn't the rich, smooth Jura I recall, but rather a pleasant, mildly sweet yet smoky pour. Enjoyable and easy to drink.

Subtly peated, but the overall impression is peaty – a wide range of peat, brine, and smoke.
