Bright brass with a hint of caramel in color. Nose is light caramel, toasted white bread, creamed corn, barn funk and lemon cake with vanilla frosting. Soft on the mouth, its warmth emerges slowly and accelerates the spice notes behind it. The faint hint of dry roasted peanuts and their shells. Its very complex. An herbal quality comes through: rosemary wood, perhaps? A hint of maltiness sneaks through too. It's a rich sweet woodiness and earthy forest floor thing. Moderate length finish. This may be my favorite Beam product to date!
