Lots of heat on the nose like red hots. A little water tames the heat. Dusty up front followed by brown sugar, minimal fruit. A little orange citrus. Hard to explain but I like it. Lingering brown sugar, cinnamon, touch of orange. The brown sugar sweetness lingers with a long finish and slight oaky bitterness. Unique. Great round mouthfeel. The oaky bitterness for me is keeping it from a higher score. Still highly recommend, especially when on sale
