Nose
Oily nebular of solar barbeque chocolate and cosmic coffee. Twinkling liquorice leading to a gingerbread pulsar and a cinnamon spice meteor. Sweet and savoury, with notes of braised brisket, earthy swamp grass, cedar planks, cumin, turmeric, and distant burning dried twigs. Concentrated fruit notes of apple pie, grilled orange, lemon oil, and fig, along with richer caramel flavours of brown sugar and chocolate chip banana bread.
Palate
Medium texture, slightly soft. Sweet raisin and orange on the arrival before turning smoky and savoury. Smoked brisket, deep meaty rich notes of applewood smoke, burnt ends, a hint of ash. Savoury notes of mushroom tea and dried tomato. Muddy and peppery, hardwood charcoal. Very overbrewed black tea, with a hint of cherry and honey.
Finish
Medium-long, earthy, dark, and bittersweet. Cola, black pepper, unsweetened chocolate and espresso. Honey and raisins. A hint of salted licorice. Long, ashy and gently drying—lingering camp-fire smoke, briny toffee and a final flicker of charred oak spice.
