McClelland - Biteless Burley.
Weird, in no way does the smoke marry up to the description. There's easily enough sweetness as to make this qualify as an aromatic!
The blend presents itself as a fairly dark brown, mid-size, ribbon. The aroma from the pouch implies a casing reminiscent of Tate & Lyle's Black Treacle.
This is the leading taste of the smoke: bitter, sweet, treacle. It's quite a nice smoke at first as the leading sweetness is the complete antithesis to the rustic, toasty, underlying flavour from the Burley. It's a three star smoke until I pass halfway. After this point the sweetness of the treacle is outweighed by the absinthal/bitter side of the treacle. It lives up to its name where bite's concerned and burns quite well.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: pleasant-ish.
Biteless Burley? Two stars:
Somewhat recommended.

Molasses is the star flavor, though here and there I got a hint of nuttiness. Burns well, though I would not puff it very fast as it can sport a harsh note if you do. Won't bite. Leaves a little moisture at the finish, and requires an average number of relights. Has a mild nic-hit. Has a pleasant after taste. It's okay as a outdoor work all day smoke that you don't have to think much about. As a mixer, use sparingly or the molasses will over take the other components.

I picked up a pound of this from Smokingpipes when McC decided to exit the market. I was expecting a "straight" burley.
Well.. this folks is an Aromatic. There is definitely a casing which I'm taking to be maple or maybe molasses. It is fairly dry, packs easily, burns great but just wasn't what I was expecting.
Since I have quite a bit of it, I've been mixing it 25% BB to 75% Carter Hall which makes a mapley version of CH. Its quite good for the commute. I'm also going to try to mix it with some CD Bright VA as Im thinking this might be a winner.

I found Biteless Burley to have a very pleasant and easy light. It stayed lit easily. This is a tobacco that is meant to be used when you're able to really sit back relax, go slow and take your time. When I enjoyed it that way, I found it be very consistent throughout the entire bowl. I experienced a creamy mouth feel that turned buttery as I progressed. I tasted of rich buttery caramel as it slowly and maintained a soothing warm temperature. Others in the same area said it had a pleasing aroma of caramel and/or chocolate.
I would recommend you try an Ounce or two for the relaxing first bowl of the evening.
