Nice medium amber color, not overly long legs swirled in the glass. Nose is strong apple butter and a hint of barn hay, maybe some cocoa. Palate still brings apple butter with cocoa more prominent and the proof brings spicy pepper to the tongue. Finish lingers nicely, mellower than the initial pepper would foretell, more sweetness of the apple butter and fall spice. This is nice but pretty basic. Ice cuts the initial pepper and lets the sweet apple shine a bit more but eliminates the finish, neither a positive or negative, just different. Inadvertently bought another bottle. I usually make a point to not buy more than one of a series. Whereas, my initial impression still holds, I get a definite aroma of wet clay. Overall, it is simple, but what it does, it does well.
