Tasting Notes
"Big on vanilla with a hint of fresh hops and quite a bit of oak. Plenty spicy as well, like nutmeg and cracked black pepper corns. The oily mouthfeel is enjoyable, although it is somewhat tannic and has a slight woody bitterness, accompanied by more spiciness. There's touches of honey, but it is also quite herbal. Rather straightforward and could do with some more depth."
