Tasting Notes
"Green, in-process malting cereal grains lead on the nose, along with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and overripe, mushy apples. The palate showcases cocoa powder, ginger, cassia bark, brownies, and dark chocolate syrup. The finish is short, offering tannic oak, leather, malted milk balls, cloves, and allspice. "
