Second taste edit: after the bottle opened up some, it got miles better. It’s still intense, but I can at least taste the rich brown sugar and almond butter that dominate the palate. Worthy of bumping up to 4.0 if only because it reminds me of my Booker’s Kitchen Table.
Accidentally deleted my entry. Don’t remember exactly what I wrote, but it was extremely hot and I couldn’t get far past that. Took my breath away. Wood spice, cherry and corn sweetness are what I remember.
