Tasting Notes
"There's an herbal smoke on the nose along with some savory nutty malt and a bit of pear fruit. The malt feels full and slick on the palate with a moderate sweetness. Proof is good and warming with a lightly bitter finish and a peppery spicy bite. More of a savory malt overall than a sweet or fruity expression. The smoke adds a touch of bacon to the profile. "
