Vanilla wafers, mint, apricot, persimmon, and Vix cherry cough syrup on the nose. Malty and spicy on the palate with loads of sweet caramel-coated cookies before a surprisingly fiery Red Hot cinnamon and alcohol finish. A bit of an alcohol and oak bite, definitely more pronounced than the ABV would suggest. The finish is bitey and long with some pleasant fennel, caraway, and spearmint notes.
