Carmel and vanilla on the nose and palate. Nice mouthfeel and a long lingering hug. 8/27/22 - No noticeable difference from my first taste. Maybe a bit thinner, but still flavorful. Spicy hug is still present. Good, but probably don’t need to repurchase this one. 10/15/22 - Brought this along to share on a campout. Happy to say that this bottle has really improved, and have enjoyed it this weekend. Definitely better that ‘good’. Though still not sure I need to have this on the shelf all the time.
