(Old 2013 release) Strong bite of heat and heaps of vanilla on the nose, cream brulee showing up when intensely swirled. Drank neat, tastes of alpenliebe caramel candies and some cherry backed with strong alcohol that numbs the tip of your tongue and insides of your lips, but all seemingly tainted with bitter wax. With a little a water, a very fleeting hint of dark bread can randomly show up. Medium mouthfeel with a strong alcoholic finish, and a strong astringent, cotton candy-like on the exhale.
