on the nose: deep caramel and dark chocolate notes. hint of vanilla. i get some clove. light acetone but not in a negative way. i get some lighter fruity nose mixed in there as well. tongue: it starts with a buttery texture dancing on your tongue for 52%. gives a great bite and a very full and deep spice profile. really warm cinnamon undertones and a nice bite towards the ends. wakes up your blood in a sense. i also get some blonde coffee notes on the tongue and nose.
