Tasting Notes
"Concentrated aromas of clove, cinnamon, bing cherry, candied apple, and saddle leather leap out of the glass. The palate has a strong, somewhat medicinal cherry cola element with backup flavors of tart orchard fruit, vanilla, and mulled wine spices. The flavors linger on the tongue, though it goes down a bit hot. "
