Neat. Neck pour. Initial impression is subtle but super rich on the nose. It is not in your face like ECBP can be but it is jammed with flavor. Nuttiness and oak hit me first, toasted coconut maybe. An amazing cherry note surrounded by vanilla. Hint of banana bread. This is really really good.
Geez this is good. Super creamy but not viscous or syrupy as some ECBP. Flavors for miles and intense. There is a cherry note here so sweet it hurts. The initial hit on the tongue is surprising. It’s citrus and orange and once you swallow it is an uppercut if cherry, vanilla, chocolate, oak, tobacco, hint of leather. Around the flavor wheel we go, over and over and over. Legs don’t stop.
This is nuts. I’ll regret it in the morning but this deserves a side by side with C919...
Holy shit it crushes it. This needs more side by sides but B520 may be the Batch 12 of ECBP. Wow.
