Tasting Notes
"On the nose, find tart lingonberries along with vanilla cream pudding, ginger, lemon peel, and spearmint. The palate is spicy and bold, with blackberry jam, burnt caramel, barrel char, Baker's chocolate, and leather. The finish is resinous with pinewood and sap, and notes of cherry cola, black pepper, malted milk balls, and sarsaparilla. "
