Nose: Intense with a burst of charcoal, creosote, tar and molasses caramel, with curious herbal notes, such as fennel, celery and green peppers. Once these disappear, there are notes of milk chocolate, anise and wood smoke.
T: Molasses caramel, anise, salted caramel chocolate, eucalyptus, menthol and briarwood, to name but a few. The 'tingling' and peppery mouthfeel continues, with sweeter flavors giving way to more savory notes like charcoal, smoky bacon, toast and tar.
Finish: The aftertaste is long and lingering, with a touch of peppermint and clove.
