Tasting Notes
"First impression is porridge with honey, accompanied by a touch of oak shavings, ripe banana, nutmeg and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is a tad thin, yet somewhat oily. Fairly spicy. Think cloves and ginger, with a touch of cinnamon and black pepper. While a bit of an odd duck, it is a very interesting concoction."
