On the nose I get an assortment of sweet notes including maple, caramel, vanilla, and oak. Nothing too unique, but pleasant enough. Upon first sip I notice thats its very rich and full bodied with an overall sweet flavor profile. I got more of the caramel and vanilla and oak mainly. I couldn't pick out much of anything else. Very spicy finish, heavy with oak, with a decent amount of heat. Packs a punch. Left me with an aftertaste of coffee. Overall it was a little one sided on the sweet end of the spectrum. I liked the full bodied mouthfeel, but didn't care for the spicy finish. Plus it was a little hot for my liking.
