Nose: Malty not sweet at all, some light pear and citrus keep it lively, hints of cigar smoke. Distinctive. Taste: Werther’s Original toffee, shortbread, burnt toast with butter, plum pudding, spicy dark chocolate finish burns the tongue served neat. Overall: Such pure deep classic malt flavors, not overpowered by sweetness, finishing, or peat. Beautiful classic malt.
