Like a lot of other reviewers for this bottle, I get that cherry cola on the nose along with red hots candy. Some vanilla and heavy spice as well. The cherry continues on the palate along with red apple, slight pepper and fiery oak.
The finish stays nicely with a slightly fruit but heavily spiced note. Notice some chocolate malt as well but not very forward.
Will have to do a test along with the last few bottle releases. This here though, is a really solid offering with some great flavors.
