Tasting Notes

"On the nose, smells exactly like Whoppers candy or Ovaltine (malted milk chocolate.) On the palate, it's surprisingly fruity, with flavors or bananas, red apples and persimmon. Cola spices with some black pepper and a pinch of salt round out the finish. The end result tastes very much like a spicy, salted dark chocolate caramel!"
