Dark caramel in the glass, with thick legs and a viscous ring that hangs out near the top of the glass for minutes before I get bored watching and move to nosing. Nose is homemade caramel just before it starts to burn, then honey nougat, vanilla, and a fresh sugar cookie. This is all sweet, all the time. Palate opens with that rich caramel climbing and coating the tongue from front to midway, before soft molasses cookie and Nilla wafers juggle the midle and then yield to chai tea and then a slightly bitter black tea (with sugar, of course) on the close. There’s a lot of nuance here, and I’m impressed by the depth and richness of flavors. While it is all sweet, all the time, it isn’t cloying or too much. I like this, and even though MSRP is right up against the SBBP, they occupy such a different place in the flavor scale that I wouln’t compare the two, and think both should be regulars on rotation.
