Not what I would typically go for but was recomended that I try. A very rich color, but the legs were weak in my opinion. On the nose I detected a lot of Carmel, and vanillia. I also got a hint of honey. I also had a slight burn on the nose as well. When tasted the first sensation that I had was very sweet! Then had a major burn on the finish! Really strong burn! I also detected vanillia, and Carmel, as well as a tobacco taste. I also go a very oily mouth feel. Added a couple of drops of water and that tamed down the burn a lot so that I could enjoy te flavors more. The water also brought out a spice and honey flavor. Something I would recommend mixing with unless you enjoy a hard burn.

Thanks to Ralfystuff this is my standard. Delicious on its own. Not good for mixing.
