Tasting Notes
"Mature and elegant, like well-cellared wine. The aroma is exotic and balanced with honey, beer malt, bitter lemon, and balsam scented candles. The palate is initially smooth and opens with dark sugars like honey and molasses. Beer malt and vanilla soda add lift to the mid-palate. Traditional botanical flavors give a refreshing bitter finish. Enjoy this as a nice chaser in a Boilermaker, a good base for a Highball, or neat."
