Tasting Notes

"A fruitcake-like mix of fruity and spicy aromas (dried and fresh orchard fruits, nutmeg, cardamom) fill the nose with a hint of milk chocolate. The palate is rich and malty, with toasted spice flavors, ginger, and cocoa with additional flavor reminiscent of pear cider and mixed dried fruits. There's a well balanced finish that's simultaneously fruity, toasty, and warming with subtle florality. "
