Oak, caramel, vanilla, pixie sticks, cherry, cocoa. Really rich, lots of toffee with faint pepper undertones.
-
Taste:
Medium to thick, hot, but rich with flavor. Peppery oak, earthy cocoa, caramel, tobacco, vanilla and some cherry.

Finish:
Long, but more peppery than Id like and pretty astringent. Cocoa, some toffee and lots of musty tobacco

Overall:
This is nice but not up to snuff with other releases I've had.
