So much better than I expected. Hits all the brown sugar notes in the center palate but is still balanced by the warmer nuts-n-spice flavors coming in on the back and sides of the tongue. Nose is slightly roasty and creamy, and the finish sticks around long enough to make its presence known (though not necessarily long enough to come to bed with me - and I mean that literally here, kids). Overall, this is as complete a (semi-)regularly available daily sipper as I have on the shelf. Really excited by it.
