Tasting Notes
"The nose shows a lightly fruity scent with the notes being more of the berry family. There's some moderate oak notes as well as toasted cereal grains. It's a touch sweet with a bit of a spicy bite. The flavors lend towards a trail mix taste with dried fruits, nutty malt, and touch of coconut. Flavors at the finish become bittersweet. A bit hot at the mid-palate, but still enjoyable overall. "
