Ethanol, vanilla cream, soft buttered rolls. Lots of caramel, toffee and sweet icing. Overall, it can be summed up as ethanol and every sweet dessert under the sun.
Thin to medium mouth feel. Some mild heat. Lots of honey, caramel, sweet cream. Mild pepper, faint orange peel. Very sweet and vanilla bean forward. Not super complex, but enjoyable.
