I'd say it's like halfway decent day-old brioche that got put into a plastic bag. It's something I'd use for toast or French toast but I wouldn't serve it on its own as I would do with a perfect fresh-baked version.
To me, the charm of a fresh brioche is the textural contrast between the delicate, but still slightly crispy/chewy crust and the buttery, soft interior. Once you put it in a plastic bag, the crust gets soft so that's lost.
The crumb is finer and more even than my dream brioche. It's rich and buttery but not quite as buttery as an all-butter version. Overall, more manufactured than hand-crafted.
