Tasting Notes
"On the nose, briny beach bonfire smoke with tinges of earthy peat intertwine with aromas of dried fruits, toasted spices, and charred marshmallows. The palate is malty, tangy, salty, and chocolatey with flavors of BBQ charcoal smoke—very reminiscent of a bready, grilled pretzel purchased straight from a street vendor if part of it had been dipped in chocolate. The smoke, earthiness, chocolatey flavors, and salty tartness linger on the palate with a medium finish. "
