Color of good ginger beer, pale and misty with a touch of silvery green. Nose opens with a peat bog on fire. Woof. My wife had to leave the room when I first pulled the cork. Develops into freshly turned rich black earth, all manner of chocolate, savory Nori (Japanese Toasted seaweed-paper), baked green apple, green olives and applewood smoked Gouda. Touch medicinal and musty, hints of roasted peanuts and dill pickle. Thick and creamy in the mouth, coats the palate, sweet apple, smoked citrus and chewy cereals. Long finish with smoldering charcoal and dark cocoa at the very end. Perfect craft presentation, but such an acquired taste! Just about the maximum amount of peat smoke I can appreciate. Use this to scare away the uninitiated and undeserving... Dry glass: car exhaust on a icy-cold morning.
