Tasting Notes
"A unique bouquet offers nutty and caramel notes, along with malted chocolate. Mouthfeel is viscous and a bit syrupy, but much of that sweetness disappears, leading to a spicier, herbal profile. The finish is dry, oaky and astringent, with the cheeks and tongue left tingling. Overall, the flavors are a bit soft and would benefit from further development. Add ice to showcase a deeper, malty sweetness, with vanilla and char notes."
