Sweet smelling, with cereal, light honey, and an even lighter smokiness. The taste is straightforwardly malty but is helped by the sticky sherry influence. Actually, no, the sherry turns quickly into a less pleasant medicinal wave, which unfortunately seems to dominate the finish too. There might be some cinnamon and slight smoke hiding beneath it all, but it seems rushed, thrown together, unsure of itself.
