-
Nose:
Super sweet - caramel, toffee, vanilla. Fruity sweetness: passion fruit, melon, cherries. Faint ethanol, faint oakiness. Loaded with honey, faint cocoa undertones.
-
Taste:
Thick, rich, loaded with caramel, toffee and subtle oak. Some bitterness, but its pretty subdued. There is pretty evident heat, but its not punishing for the proof. Lots of fruitiness also.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet and balanced nice with some peppery oak. Very sweet still - the toffee, cocoa and cherries are real here.
-
Overall:
This is nice and I like it as much than some of the other batches that are more recent. Their consistency is honed in and well executed.
