Tasting Notes
"Huge amounts of pine and wood on the nose, like walking into a wet forest. There's also a cola sweetness, lemon, and something earthy, even musty, like mushrooms. On the palate, it's similarly earthy and herbal and sort of funky and muddy, with pepper, lemon, and decaying vegetation. In the finish, a bit of honey and cinnamon asserts itself. "
