Intro:
We make a brief return to the days of old. I have not wobbled in some time, but it sure it time to Gobble again. /u/thpbltblt recently bought some bottles of the stuff and wanted my opinion of them, so he sent a couple samples along. I'm sure you all remember the schtick from last time so let us dive in!
-
Nose:
Vanilla, orange zest. Sweet cream, cocoa and pepper. Tobacco, earthy clove and a whole lot of caramel.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel, no real heat here. Loaded with sweet cream, cocoa and pepper. This blends really nicely with lots of caramel and that nice, musty, Turkey tobacco note.
-
Finish:
Long, rich finish. Heat is well respected here. Rich toffee, citrus peel and clove. Some caramel as well.
-
Overall:
This is really a great pick and easily my favorite so far. All my favorite notes were there and the balance between sweet and spicy is very well done.
