Color: A true amber. Looks just like an amber beer.
Nose: Pretty sweet and fruity. I get Caramel, Cherry, and maybe some Banana, but that might just be because I’ve heard people get hints of that before. The longer it sits, the more I get fruit and the less prevalent the caramel is.
Palate: I get a lot of the cherry on the tongue. Maybe some brown sugar in there. Definitely pick up spice too, but I don’t have the palate to pinpoint which ones. It has a really nice mouthfeel too. Coats the mouth nicely. After having multiple pours of this, it seems to drink pretty hot. Revision: The more I drink on it, the less I seem to like it.
Finish: Solid finish. Medium to long and hits all over. Finishes pretty hot though.
Overall: I keep wanting to like this as it seems to be widely available and gets mostly positive reviews, but it just drinks a little hot for my taste, and I tend to like higher proof drinks. Some pours don’t seem to have enough flavor to overcome the heat. Each pour seems to be hit and miss. I probably wouldn’t buy again.
